The signs were probably there over the past couple of years, but with this recent news of the New York Knicks’ court case against the team, it looks like the Toronto Raptors have now entered the poverty franchise territory.
Literally.
The Knicks are suing their former employee Ike Azotam (whom the Raptors hired recently), new Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, and Noah Lewis, who’s a player development coach and was recently with the Raptors 905 as one of Eric Khoury’s assistant coaches, and ten other unnamed defendants — If I have to speculate, probably the other assistant coaches and video coordinators.
