​Dragic told this story on a popular Slovenian basketball podcast Dvokorak.

"He came to the gym and said that he was happy... Actually happy," Dragic recalled.

"So I asked him 'Why are you so happy?' He told me that it was because he didn't have to pay me a $1 million bonus," told Dragic.

"And I was like, what kind of owner doesn't want his own player to make the All-Star team," the Slovenian remembered.

"After that, I said to myself: 'I really don't see myself being in this place any longer'", said the veteran guard.
