By Raptors 905 in the D League expansion draft:

This does not mean that they are playing there next season, but the team holds their rights for 2 years (and can trade them) and will get them if they opt for the D League. Each existing team protected 12 players that they had returning players rights for and could not have more than 2 players picked, with 16 total selections. No D League team needs 16 players, so a bunch of players who are already signed overseas for this season were picked just in case they ever come back or so their rights could be trade bait at some point.
Dahntay must have really missed playing last season as he joined the D League in the middle of the season and managed to parlay it into an NBA roster spot for the end of the season. I wonder if he would consider it again if he has no D League deal.
Nolan returned after an overseas stint, but had his season ended by injury. Hopefully he is fully healthy and can either play in Mississauga or catch on overseas again.
I have to wonder if players will consider if they want to play in the D League in Canada or not even though all of their road games will be in the United States.
