Mvp- kd
Coach of the year- Gregg popovich
Rookie- mcw
Sixth man- markieff morris
Mip- markieff morris, bound to get one of those awards.
Dpoy- joakim

MVP - Kevin Durant

Coach - Pops

Rookie - MCW

Sixth Man - Taj Gibson

MIP - Goran Dragic

DPOY - Noah

Executive - Ryan McDonough.
No offense to Morey or Ujiri, they are always great, but McDonough has easily been the best GM this year. Acquired a star? Check. Found a brilliant young coach? Check. Killed Larry Bird in a trade? Check. Took a 25 wins team, blew it apart and got multiple 1st round picks out of it, and then won near 50 games? Check.

MVP: Kevin Durant
COY: Tom Thibodeau
ROY: Michael-Carter Williams (Unanimous)
6MOY: Jamal Crawford
MIP: Goran Dragic
DPOY: Joaquim Noah
EOY: Ryan McDonough though my heart wishes Masai would get it.

i dunno about taj gibson being sixth man. noah and him are unstoppable defensively, but i think i'd vote for jamal crawford.

Joakim Noah won DPOY.

Pop COTY

2 for 2 for most of us.

Edit nvm, not as many predicted him as I expected.

It's hard to pick him because you could pick him pretty much every year. The Spurs only won 4 more games than last year. It's not like he really took them to a different level. It's the same level they've been on for ages.

I picked Thibs (who finished 3rd) because Chicago somehow did even better this year with a 2nd straight year without Rose, and with a roster that is in no way better (arguably worse)....

I didn't pick Hornacek (who finished 2nd) because PHX fell just short of the playoffs and I can't remember the last time a non-playoff coach got it. That said, lots of voters probably make their picks before the season is fully over and PHX just got eliminated in the last few days.

Goran Dragic MIP.

Well deserved, great year. Happy for him.

Interesting how Lowry got more votes for MIP over DeRozan. Full voting results can be found here:

Welp, I'm 2 for 3 so far.

Durant received 119 1st place votes; LeBron got 6. Blake Griffin finished 3rd, then Noah, Harden Curry, CP3, Al Jefferson, PG & Aldridge.

well deserved.. congrats KD

[rocwell]

man this KD's speech is making me emotional.

Executive of the year:
1. RC Buford
2. Ryan McDonough
3. Neil Olshey
4. Masai Ujiri
5. Pat Riley

I would've picked McDonough, but this was basically a career award in this case, like Kobe's MVP, so whatever. Buford did deserve to get one at some point.
