Chris Paul and the Clippers, four days before the NBA’s free-agency period starts, had a meeting Tuesday at his representatives’ offices to discuss their future together, said an NBA executive who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

The plan, the executive said, is for the two sides to talk in a few days, probably on Friday night, when teams can begin negotiating with free agents at 9 PDT.

Paul is a priority for the Clippers to re-sign after he opted out of his contract last week and became an unrestricted free agent.
