By using the midlevel exception on Teletovic, the Nets effectively eliminated themselves from contention for Jason Kidd. More significantly, under the N.B.A.'s new cap rules, a team that uses the full midlevel must adhere to a $74 million cap for that season. That limit will make any trade for Howard even more challenging, and perhaps impractical.
The 6-foot-8 Evans is a 10-year veteran known for his defensive rebounding and an enforcer's mentality. He was voted the N.B.A.'s dirtiest player in a Sports Illustrated player poll this year.
Teletovic, who is 6-foot-9 and 242 pounds, played for Caja Laboral in Spain, averaging 22 points and 6 rebounds in Euroleague play last season. A skilled shooter, he converted 43.8 percent of his 3-point attempts.
