Terms of the offer were not released, but the Mavericks have seven days to match.
Ricky Rubio rejected Friday the offer made by Olympiacos, the best one of all he has received.
DKV Joventut president Jordi Villacampa seemingly closed the door on that possibility over the weekend, when he released a statement to the media that read in part: “It is obvious that his career as a player in our club has ended.”
El Mundo Deportivo reported that the Rubio family was “surprised” by the statement and wants a solution “as quickly as possible.”
The newspaper speculated that could clear the way for Rubio to sign with Regal FC Barcelona, his hometown team, perhaps this week.
ESPN’s Jackson, a former point guard, is considered the favorite for the position, but I can’t help but recall that Kahn, in his sportswriter days, covered the Portland Trail Blazers when Rick Adelman was there. And Turner, a defensive specialist as a player, has been on Adelman’s staff the past 12 seasons, at Portland, Sacramento and now the Rockets.
