The Clippers – including Doc Rivers, Steve Ballmer, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, J.J. Redick and Paul Pierce – reportedly met with DeAndre Jordan today about flipping the center’s commitment to the Mavericks.
Dallas owner Mark Cuban wants his turn with Jordan, but the Clippers apparently aren’t accommodating.
Chris Broussard of ESPN:
I'm told DeAndre's meeting with LAC just ended

This is a soap opera. Meeting over, sources say, but LAC stalling, staying with DeAndre because they know Mark Cuban just landed n Houston.

- Rivers: Great! Let’s do that. Let’s start with a 1-5 pick-and-roll…
An hour later:
- Jordan: OK, coach. That was great, but now I really ought to go.
- Griffin: Hey, where’s the bathroom around here?
- Jordan: Around the corner.
- Griffin: Great. I’ll be just a minute.
Fifteen minutes later:
- Jordan: OK, this is getting ridiculous. I’ve got to go.
- Paul: [lifts hand for high-five]
