I don’t have any relevant expertise, but here’s my take. It sounds like the Knicks probably have enough evidence on Ike Azotam to win against him in a civil court case. I think it’s more unlikely that the Knicks have sufficient (and specific enough) evidence against the Raptors to succeed in prosecuting the organization or anyone in it, although I could see like 1 individual being identified. This seems like a big deal for both the NBA (precedent setting inter-team dispute, perhaps) and the Raptors (terrible PR, being perceived to cheat after they fire a coach with a lot of clout and bring in a relatively inexperienced head coach, and trying to recover after a disappointing year). It’ll be interesting to see how this story develops
