I think Rudy will rightfully win DOPY.

For COY, I’m hoping Quin can pull it out, but at probably unlikely. There could be a chance the vote split between Casy and Stevens may end up giving Quin enough to win. Unlikely, but I think Casey may win COY. Would be very happy for Quin though would be well deserved.

Then of course the most contentious. ROY. I think Simmons will win it, and I’m pretty damn certain of that. God do I wish somehow Donovan would get it. It’s probably the one I want the most just cause it’s Donovan. Probably isn’t happening, but it would be oh so sweet.....or the NBA vould do the right thing and do co-ROY.

Can’t discount the fact that Utah made the playoffs despite Hayward leaving and being carried by a rookie while going 29-6 to end the season
 
I will be shocked if Rudy doesn't win. I know he missed 26 games, but there wasn't another player this season that impacted the game on the defensive end the way Gobert did. Plus the run we went on to end the season once he came back, that definitely wasn't a coincidence.

Discount Quin or Donovan? They’re both amazing, I think Quin is more likely to win COY than Donovan is to win ROY.
 
Gobert will win. Mitchell and Snyder will both be runner-up.

All three should win if were being honest.

Nobody thought we would make the playoffs let alone win a series and a game against OKC/Houston while being the 5th seed.
 
The same people who vote for the awards are the ones who predicted Simmons would win ROY before the season even started. To vote for someone not even in the discussion before the opening tip would be admitting they are clueless hacks who do not actually cover the entire NBA, but only the major markets. Simmons will win it, not because he deserves it, but because the people who vote for him are unable to admit their prediction was wrong.

The NBA schedule is absolutely stupid sometimes. In my opinion, it should go...

NBA Finals
The Monday following the Finals - this awards show
The Friday of the awards show week, all player decision deadlines due (team and player options)
The Monday following the awards show, the Moratorium for a week
Following the Moratorium, free agency begins on a Monday
That Thursday, hold the draft

I think it's kind of stupid that teams have to select their draft picks before they know if their current players are staying or going. Also, it would be nice to have a couple days of free agency before the draft. If draft pick spots had cap holds, teams might be more willing to trade picks if it means they can sign free agents earlier in the week. So teams who spend away in free agency might have to forgo draft picks. Could lead to more insanity.

And for the love of all that is holy, NBA - please fix the stupid draft picks wearing the hat of the team they definitely aren't going to. If a trade is confirmed, let the rookie wear the hat of the team he is actually drafted by.

Just my more than two cents....

So I’m certain circumstances, players and teams would have less than a week to decide to opt in or out.

Dumb.
 
Simmons has it locked up, votes were made months ago.

If everyone had to vote today I think Mitchell would win. If that makes anyone feel better.

The players and teams would have all season to decide if they want to opt in or opt out. The only difference between now and my suggestion is having the draft after the opt out decisions. You think franchises and players are making these decisions simply off of the NBA draft?

Dumb comment.
