Executive of the Year
Trisity Miller: Daryl Morey should have won the award last season, but he’ll get his due this season. He’s added Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets and that could propel the team to the near-top of the Western Conference.
Derick Green: Doc Rivers.
James Folsom: Pat Riley won’t get it because “he’s supposed to win”, but what a monster he has created in Miami.
Teammate of the Year
Trisity: I’m still not sure exactly what wins someone this award, but Miami’s Shane Battier seems like the perfect fit for “Teammate of the Year”.
Derick: Michael Beasley or Greg Oden!
James: Chris Paul. He’s the best assist man in the game and throws a great party too.
