Will Vlade Divac be bringing one of his countrymen to Sactown this summer?

Teodosic, a 30-year-old point guard who has long captivated international audiences with his flamboyant playmaking and ball-handling skills, is believed to be considering a move to North America now that his contract with Russian club CSKA Moscow is about to expire. He has also been drawing interest from multiple other NBA teams.
With Darren Collison and Ty Lawson both free agents, the Kings will have no point guards under contract for 2017-18 if Langston Galloway declines his $5.4 million player option. Teodosic isn’t an ideal rebuilding piece, but he may at least feel at home in Sacramento with another Serbian import in Bogdan Bogdanovic possibly arriving next season and a couple of other Southeastern Europeans in Kosta Koufos and Georgios Papagiannis already on their roster.
