Although the Clippers are prepared to pay Coach Mike Dunleavy as much as $5.6 million a season, the parties might not complete a deal because of the team's stance on playoff bonuses, sources said Saturday.

Andy Roeser, executive vice president, and Dunleavy's agent, Warren LeGarie, have finalized the framework of the package's base salary in a four-year deal, but have not come to terms on what Dunleavy would receive for the team's future success in the postseason.

"We don't negotiate in the media, and we certainly don't do it with anonymous sources," Roeser said during halftime of Saturday's Clippers-Lakers game. "We've made an extraordinary proposal, and in spite of all the rhetoric, I'm confident it's all going to work out fine."
