About Basketball Owner: Franchise GM
You're not the coach. You're not the GM. You own the team. Basketball Owner is a boardroom management sim where every dollar, every promise and every headline lands on your desk. Sign the checks, swing the trades, hire and fire the coach — and answer to the only people above you: your partners. GIVE YOUR WORD Step up to the microphone and promise the city a playoff seed, a marquee star, a new arena. Promises pay off up front — fans believe, partners lean in. But the ledger remembers every word, and broken promises cost double. TRADE LIKE A FRONT OFFICE Build packages of players and future draft picks. Salaries must match when you're over the cap, the tax line is always watching, and the deadline turns every February into a war room. DRAFT NIGHT Miss the playoffs and enter the lottery. Work the board with your academy's scouting, take the podium pick, and welcome the future — or trade it away for a star today. TWO CONFERENCES. ONE BANNER. Nine teams in the East, nine in the West. Finish top four in your conference to make the bracket: Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, then The Finals — best of seven, coast against coast. BANNERS THAT STAY UP Win The Finals and it hangs for good: your first banner, back-to-back, a dynasty. The Boardroom keeps the league's history, champion by champion. A FULL BASKETBALL YEAR • All-Star Weekend — get your stars selected, feel the buzz • Awards night — MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year • Free agency, contract extensions, buyouts • A development-league affiliate to grow your young talent on two-way deals • Arena upgrades — and a city referendum to help fund them • A rivalry that remembers every result SURVIVE THE PARTNERS' VOTE Every three seasons, your ownership group votes on your chair. Fan support, partner confidence, credibility and banners decide whether you stay — or get bought out. MAKE IT YOURS Rename all 18 franchises with the built-in editor and build your own league. THE REBUILD CLIMB Fourteen franchises are free. The four at the bottom of the league — the weakest rosters, the smallest budgets and the least patient partners in the game — are the Ownership License rebuilds (one-time purchase): the longest road to a banner. Basketball Owner is a work of fiction. All teams, players and leagues are fictional; no affiliation with any real league or organization. Optional in-app purchases available.
