Mark Broussard of ESPN.com sent out a tweet Wednesday afternoon saying that the Clippers are stalling and trying to keep DeAndre Jordan away from meeting with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers, owner Steve Ballmer and players Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, J.J. Redick and Paul Pierce are in Houston to try to talk Jordan out of signing with the Mavericks. Jordan this past Friday agreed to a 4-year deal with Dallas, which, if signed would bring to an end Jordan’s time with the Clippers. Jordan, a 6-foot-11 center, has spent all seven years of his career in Los Angeles. Cuban is also in Houston, trying to thwart off the Clippers’ advances.

Players can sign free-agent contracts beginning Thursday.

Broussard’s tweet reads: “Clippers stalling, trying to keep DeAndre away from meeting with Cuban.”
