The ABC brings word of negotiations between the Canberra Capitals and their favourite daughter Lauren Jackson to secure her services for three of the next five WNBL seasons.
The proposed agreement would allow Jackson to continue her successful association with WNBA club Seattle Storm, with whom she has won two American championships.
It would also give her the option of returning to Europe, where she has had several stints in Russia.
Born 11 May 1981 she’ll be well into her 30s in five years time.
