Yeah, I'm pretty confident in that statement, but I'm not going to try to argue it till after the playoffs. Just doesn't seem wise to, given the magnitude.
Not enough that I can post it, but it wouldn't deviate much from most of the ballots posted here (namely elGee and fatal). I might have a different opinion on which years for some guys, and obviously it won't be identical to others, but nothing big. I'm still going to hold out till after this season though, as I want to try to break it down by estimated SRS impact and separate it out, offense from defense, as well as include 2013 in the mix.
On the other hand, I haven't seen a list from you since the project ended, unless I glanced over it somewhere. Did you ever get around to updating it?

Leaving '13 Durant and LeBron out of it for the simple reason, as you said, we don't know if they'll raise their games even further in the Playoffs.
