Baylor Has ‘Good’ Meeting With Falk for Four Hours

The anticipated meeting between the Clippers and agent David Falk, who represents power forward Maurice Taylor and is seeking a long-term contract extension, took place Wednesday in Los Angeles but no agreement was reached.

Falk met with Elgin Baylor, vice president of basketball operations, for nearly four hours. Both sides said they remain optimistic.

“I had a good discussion with David Falk about several issues concerning Maurice Taylor, including an extension of his contract,” Baylor said. “It is our intention to get this situation resolved prior to the beginning of training camp.”

Falk said last week that if the Clippers are not willing to give Taylor the maximum extension under the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, he would ask for a trade. If Taylor is not signed or traded, he could then play out his final contract year with the Clippers and become a free agent next summer, according to Falk. Taylor will earn $1.367 million this season. Falk is seeking a six-year extension for $70.9 million.
