What are we looking for:
Engagement, Activity and Knowledge
Someone who can show they will be an active member of Dynasty Five for a long time, to make the team their own, build a great dynasty and understand that it will be a job that will take many years! We want someone who wants to become part of the semi-roleplaying atmosphere of being a real NBA GM here at D5, who gets involved in rating players, day-to-day discussion and even posts media centre articles such as rankings, jersey switches, analytics, scouting reports or stories.

note: even if you miss out on this team, showing you're a committed, hard working GM will put you first in line for any future team openings and ahead of everyone else on the waiting list.

I've shortened the turnaround on this selection process so that, whoever is next Knicks GM, they will have a few days before OSFA begins to make some big team decisions.

Hi all,
I would be interested to become the next GM of Knicks.
I'm a Finnish guy who have played basketball all my life. Following NBA since about 1999. Favorite player was always Tim Duncan. Go Spurs go!!
I have experience in sim leagues. Some of you know me from Dynasty720 as Theodore Duncan. I would say I'm one of the more active GM's there for few years.

Plan for the Knicks:
Well, they seem to be bit in no-mans land. Not good to compete or bad enough to have higher picks, and couple of quite meh contracts. I don't think there is a quick fix for the team, I think would need to be quite patient for few years.
There are few decent young players in the team, but none of them is the go-to franchise guy to build around. Luckily they have their own 1st round picks, so I think building via draft will be best way. I would probably try to look up some trades to take some bad money contracts and get extra draft picks as compensation, and tank for 1-2 years to find the future star in the draft.

I would like to support Arvydas Sabonis for the Knicks GM job.I have been part of D720 for almost 2 years now where he is also a GM and he is a pretty good GM in terms of transactions and activity.I particularly like his team planning and I am pretty certain he would have won a title there had it not been for some serious injuries to Cousins and Porzingis a few seasons back.Hoping that he is a strong contender for the job and gets it too since the Knicks require a patient GM who can plan and I believe that Arvydas Sabonis can do so

So, is the application period still open? Ian Noble

I'm just starting to get quite some PM's for trade offers already, so wheneven this will be officially decided I could set-up my trade block also openly.

With no other applicants I'd like to welcome Arvydas Sabonis to the Knicks organization and his first full-time D5 GM role!
