Mark Cuban 'cleared the air' with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer over DeAndre Jordan

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he had a discussion with Steve Ballmer following the free agency debacle over DeAndre Jordan and the two "cleared the air on a few things."

In a post on his app Cyber Dust, his preferred form of communication, Cuban wrote that the conversation started off "more than a little frigid."

"I told him exactly what I told other owners, I didn't have a problem with his hail Mary approach to keeping a player," he wrote.

Jordan signed a new contract with the Clippers after verbally agreeing to sign with the Mavericks. According to reports, Cuban and Chandler Parsons personally spent weeks recruiting the center before he ignored their phone calls in the hours leading up to the official signing period.

In a post on Twitter following Jordan's re-signing, Ballmer alluded to the last-minute team effort it took to bring the center back.

In his post on Cyber Dust on Wednesday, Cuban reiterated his belief that "nothing that happened with this deal was the result of the moratorium."

"The thing about the NBA is that you don't know which deals are the good deals and which arrows you avoided [until] you start playing the games," he wrote.

Cuban added that he looked forward to playing the Clippers in the 2015-16 season.
