Back to the Toronto Raptors Newsfeed

If the NBA adds another team, who do the Raptors protect in an expansion draft?

The network of basketball blogs under the SB Nation NBA banner include a site dedicated to the lost Seattle Sonics. I mention this because any time news of NBA expansion bubbles to the surface, those guys are on it — and with good reason, since their team was hijacked out of the city in the first place. It’s a hard and lonely road, but they walk it.

To satisfy their dedication, the latest league expansion news comes directly from Commissioner Adam Silver himself. In a recent Players Tribune interview with C.J. McCollum (which is apparently a yearly happening), the NBA is considering adding another team.
