The Knicks have removed the interim tag from Glen Grunwald's title and have made him the team's permanent executive vice president and general manager, tweets Al Iannazzone of Newsday. The team made the decision official today, saying that Grenwald is being rewarded for helping the club make the playoffs for the second straight year (Twitter link).
Grunwald was promoted to the interim GM role last June, replacing Donnie Walsh. The Knicks experienced some turmoil involving Carmelo Anthony and then-coach Mike D'Antoni earlier this season, but taking into account the drafting of Iman Shumpert, the signing of Tyson Chandler, and the waiver claim of Jeremy Lin, it's been a successful year overall for the team's front office.
