Donald Carter, Dallas Maverick owner, has relented and offered top pick Jim Jackson of Ohio State a six-year contract. But Jackson’s agent reiterated that his client is no longer interested in any deal that would bring him to Dallas.
Carter offered Jackson a six-year deal worth between $18 million and $21 million, including an NBA-record $6-million signing bonus to be paid before New Year’s Day. But Jackson’s agent, Mark Termini of Cleveland, rejected the offer.
