The Phoenix Suns selected the 6-foot-6 Bogdanovic with the No. 27 pick in the 2014 NBA draft and traded his rights to the Kings as part of a deal during the 2016 draft. Because three NBA drafts have passed since Bogdanovic was selected, he is not bound by a rookie-scale contract, which allows him to sign a more lucrative deal.
Article also mentions they signed him to this contract to lure him from Europe

Thanks, I didn't realize that the rookie wage was eliminated after 3 drafts.

Yeah, he was probably making 3 million euros in net income so that would probably be about $5-6 million in a typical NBA contract where taxes are paid by the individual. Obviously this is much better, and I am surprised that they didn't just give him exactly one dollar more than his equivalent value in Euros. Seems like they were bidding against themselves.
