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.

“We’ve made our position very clear about the situation, and nothing has changed,” Termini said.
