      MVP - Durant
      Coach - Thibodeau
      Rookie - MCW
      Sixth man - Don't like my options here...umm...DJ Augustin?
      MIP - Anthony Davis
      DPOY - Joakim Noah
      Executive - Ujiri

      EDIT: Not changing any choices (though the 6th man is just a wild guess and I think it'd be hilarious if Augustin won it...he definitely has a case). I feel like people are overlooking Thibs a lot and he could come on strong again now that the season is over. No Derrick Rose. Management seemed to want to tank by trading away Deng. Basically Thibs coaching and Noah's insane leadership pushed that team where it fully doesn't deserve to be on paper. Their roster is fully mediocre at best. And I think Casey and Clifford are the other top candidates (apart from Pop who's a candidate every year). Stotts maybe has an outside shot too.

      Durant and MCW seem like obvious choices for MVP and ROY.

      Davis seems like a good choice because the NBA will want to choose a good kid with a bright future and positive image.

      Ujiri I chose because I wonder if the voters will take into account intent. Ujiri came in, fixed a mess (his primary goal), and provided a roster that could work or would be easy to tank with if it didn't. McDonough fully tried to tank as hard as he could, and basically failed. The good job he's done seems more than a little accidental, more so than Ujiri.

              Oh wow, totally forgot. I'd probably change mine and put Deandre Jordan for defensive player. He's been fantastic.

                  I HATE giving MIP to second year players. They're expected to improve, too little of a gap. My opinion though.

                    Yeah, but I don't know if anyone else has dramatic enough improvement, or has the right "face" for the media. DeMar has a case though...But Davis is the next star in this league and I could easily see them giving him the award almost just because of that. His stats have gone up across the board. He's also super young for a big man to have made such big strides. 2nd year players don't always improve as hoped. Davis' improvement has been possibly more significant than anybody else in the league, and it's not a small gap from his first year production.

                      I do think DeMar has a very strong case though. Probably also Dragic.

                      Don't think Lowry will get it. He's performed at roughly this level before. Suddenly not being a pain in the butt doesn't count as improvement.

                      Don't know who else to consider. I think Bledsoe has missed too much time.

                          hahaha....because of how awful this rookie class is? They should just give out 2 awards next year maybe?

                              Sorry buddy. O.j. mayo has started pretty much the whole season, doubt that one will come true.
