According to Eurohoops.net, a site of dubious legitimacy, the Clippers are in discussions to use their mid-level exception on Serbian guard Milos Teodosic. Clips Nation can confirm the Clippers’ interest in Teodosic but not necessarily all of the details in Eurohoops’ report.
Milos Teodosic negotiating a three-year, $24 million deal with the LA Clippers (by @NikosVarlas) https://t.co/vzo1xdOyI3

Teodosic is one of Europe’s most coveted players, a 30-year-old 6’5” guard who averaged 16 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds per game for CSKA Moscow. He’s a career 38% three-point shooter.
The rumored price range is three years and $24 million, which would involve the Clippers’ mid-level exception. The full three-year value of the exception is $26.5 million. While it’s possible that the report is inaccurate, it’s also possible that the Clippers negotiated a slight discount on the full mid-level as they attempt to avoid the luxury tax.
