The Knicks are seeking over $10 million in their lawsuit against the Raptors and argue that Adam Silver would be compromised as an arbiter because of his cozy relationship with Toronto minority owner Larry Tanenbaum, according to a 24-page response filed Monday in a New York court.
The Knicks infer that Tanenbaum was handpicked by Silver as Chairman.
The Knicks’ lawsuit stems from their allegations that Ike Azotam, a former Knicks video coordinator, stole a trove of scouting and analytics secrets – including zip files containing “over 3,000 videos” – and gave them to the Raptors after he was hired there.
Azotam and Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic were also named in the suit.
