The New Dimensons of Dynasty Five - Assistant GMs and Reward Points
Dynasty Five has changed. I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air."1
Times are changing at Dynasty Five and a new way of managing has risen this season which could change the face of the league from now onwards.
As D5 members have been alerted, it is now possible to hire assistants to aid in the managing of franchises. Rising to this challenge, several teams have already recruited assistants, like Toronto and Oklahoma City, and many are in the process of seeking the services of an assistant such as Boston and Denver. And in yet another new development the World Champion New Jersey Nets got involved in the assistant manager game yesterday and managed to sweet-talk the Raptors assistant into joining the Nets franchise! adding yet another slice of intrigue into an already competitive game!
Lazy franchises, such as the Memphis Grizzlies, will also see their team forced into an assistant GM situation, regardless of whether they want one, to keep them on their guard to not become complacent.
But no team has taken to this new concept of GMing with as much enthusiasm as the Miami Heat. The Heat now have three separate managers, all who, by my understanding, know each other in real life and all who have a singular purpose for the Miami Heat: to make Miami the most successful Dynasty Five team! The Heat now possess a GM, an Assistant GM and a Scout, all of whom present a new and difficult challenge to other GMs on the road ahead.
Another new change in operations for Dynasty Five is the introduction of reward points, rewarding GMs for extra special services such as Media Center articles, but also for league wins. Since reward points will be an important source of currency for teams during Off Season Free Agency, the importance of regular season games has increased since teams gain 4 points for each win, and lose 1 point for each loss. If the system had been in place last season, the Spurs, with the best regular season record of 67W - 15L would be given 253 reward points. The Charlotte Bobcats, with 14W - 68L would have 12 reward points deducted!
Teams will be rewarded for their dedication to the league, for adding to its popularity and activity, with these reward points, and they will justly be rewarded with bonuses for their team.
