Just here because we need a third candidate who isn't a write-in. We'll count up my first place votes and see if #DGL.

I'll nominate myself.

This offseason I made moves to compete for the division title and for a deeper run in the playoffs. Free Agency went off exactly as planned. It all started with making the tough call on declining Nate Robinson's max contract. It wasn't a decision that was made based on talent alone, but on fit and impact. Nate, at that price, wouldn't let me transform this team into a team capable of making a push in the playoffs. I needed defense and players willing to sit backseat to the Melo and SJax show. So, I brought in Varejao, who still has his best years ahead via a low risk trade, signed Kevin Garnett for a solid and reliable presence at the PF position that doomed me in last year's playoffs, and brought back Earl Watson to give me a consistent solid, if unspectacular, PG. Every move was made to win now, but I didn't sacrifice any major future assets.

Fun Facts:

1. Knicks are a 50 win team for the first time since 1996
2. Improved record by 8 games (without final sim of the season. 46 wins in 2008)
3. Top 10 Offense and Defense for the first time since 1996

League Ranking Changes:

1. Points: from 14th in the league to 9th
2. Points Allowed: from 15th in the league to 8th
3. Assists: from 8th in the league to 5th
4. Steals: from 6th in the league to 1st
5. Blocks: from 27th in the league to 16th
6. Fouls: from 23rd in the league to 12th
7. FG%: from 13th in the league to 8th
8. PPS: from 10th in the league to 6th

The team took a big leap this year in all the right areas. Consider Inner_GI for GMOY.
