This layout best shows all you need to know, I hope..! Rights retained but I think that's just process...
I think?....... but you aren't sure?....LOL..... so we both have one oar in the water: frusty:
Im pretty sure...follow the path of process and the draft rights rule is as follows :
51. What if the team and their drafted player can't agree to a contract? What options does the player have? How long does the team keep his draft rights?
The player's options are limited. What happens depends on a number of factors:
If the player is already under contract to, or signs a contract with a non-NBA team, the team retains the player's draft rights for one year after the player's obligation to the non-NBA team ends. Essentially, the clock stops as long as the player plays pro ball outside the NBA. Players are not included in team salary during the regular season while the player is under contract with a non-NBA team.
If the player goes on to play college ball after he was drafted, then the team retains the player's draft rights until one year following the draft the player would have entered had he not declared early. For example, if a team drafts a college sophomore in 2012 and he returns to college and plays intercollegiate basketball, then they retain his draft rights until the 2015 draft. Note that the NCAA rules state that players lose their NCAA eligibility if they are drafted, so the player currently cannot return or go on to play college ball. This rule exists in the CBA in the event the NCAA rules ever change.
If the player was eligible to play in college before he was drafted but does not go on to play college basketball, then the team retains the player's draft rights until the draft the player would have entered had he not declared early. For example, if a team drafts a college sophomore in 2012 and he does not return to college and play intercollegiate basketball, they retain his draft rights until the 2014 draft.
For all other players, the team retains the player's draft rights until the date of the next draft.
In any of the above cases, if the team does not sign the player in the allotted time, the player can enter the next draft. If the team that selects the player in the next draft doesn't sign him either, he becomes a rookie free agent on the date of the following draft.
When a team signs a first round draft pick within three years after he is drafted, they use the salary scale for the year in which he signs (usually the player signs in the same year he is drafted). After three years they have the option of either using the salary scale or signing him as if he was a free agent -- using their cap room or any available exception, with the standard raises. They can only do the latter if the player did not play intercollegiately in the interim. Such a contract must be for at least three seasons, and the salary in the first season must be greater than 120% of the applicable rookie scale amount.
So thompson falls into undrafted player area and since he did this :

and the raps were the last team he played for in the NBA on contract Raps retain his rights.....Thompson is a Rap by name only...if he wants to play in NBA after China season he can play with Raps or some other team has to purchase his rights...
thank you and now we can both say he ain't on the Raptors payroll for 16-17 season but he is an asset(sort of) that can be used say as part of a trade.
I just found it weird that some, not al,l sites listed him as part of the roster, yet I was sure he had declared UFA. If he did stick around I was trying to figure out how/if they would use him. Thought he would be better than he was, scary part he was actually an upgrade from Bennet.
Wish there was some Raptor news, besides the red and blue unies, ya know something like Ross was traded for a Tom Brady inflated ball.
