Report: CSKA Moscow won't let Milos Teodosic leave for NBA
CSKA Moscow loves Milos Teodosic, and they apparently don't want to let him go.
The Russian club isn't willing to let its starting point man leave for the NBA, sources told international reporter David Pick.
The feeling seems to be mutual, with reports that Teodosic loves the city and the limelight. He's earning $2.5 million (EUR) this season and is set to hit free agency in the summer. There's a chance he'll re-sign with CSKA on the most lucrative deal ever for a Euroleague point guard.
The 6-foot-5 guard has drawn interest from NBA teams before, and it's believed it'll take a deal worth over $3 million annually to bring him stateside. The Memphis Grizzlies reportedly offered him a multi-year deal in 2013.

The 29-year-old averages 16.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and a team-high 7.4 assists playing 28.9 minutes for the defending EuroLeague champs.
He also impressed in Rio last summer, putting up 12.1 points and 5.4 assists for Serbia, which took home silver.
