Miami Heat (I was also thinking about the Utah Jazz, but they play in a much tougher conference, and the Heat starting 5 looks really good, assuming they can stay healthy enough that every starter plays at least 60 games, plus they added some good role players like Amar'e and Gerald Green, and Winslow may turn out to be a really good player)

Team with best offseason? leaning towards clippers. They obviously have alot of depth, but alot of people ignore how much of a weakness their lack of depth was. their starting lineup, statistically, was above even the warriors by a healthy amount I recall. now, their defense looks solid.
Biggest acquisition? Aldridge
Underrated acquisition? Robin Lopez
Most improved team? gonna say that taking a 45 win team to 50+ is better than 15 to 30 ish, so thunder, but thats an obvious choice, so Pelicans. since synergy is gone, I got their points per play the other day, and overall, the biggest problem with the pelicans was monty's love of the isolation. I kind of averaged their tendancies with the warriors, since we got gentry at the helm now, and weighed it more towards the warriors in terms of play frequency, and they get 3rd best offense just based on changing their play frequencies, and that was an extremely conservative estimate.
also, davis is apparently 10 pounds heavier, more athletic than ever, and is 3/4 from 3 this year. was criminally underutilized
Most surprising move? Chandler to Phoenix

ROY? Okafor
Best of the rookies in 5 years? Towns
Biggest steal in the Draft? Johnson
Best international player? Marc Gasol
International breakout this season? Steven Adams
Best international player not in NBA? I dont know anyone so im just gonna say spanoulis, but thats only cuz I hear his name alot

Best defensive player? Green
Best perimeter defender? Kawhi
Best interior defender? Gobert, by a landslide (held opponents 40% at the rim. for comparison, davis is a full 8.6% off)
Best defensive team? Warriors

Best head coach? Popovich
Best motivator? Popovich
Best at in-game adjustments? Carlisle
Best offensive coach? Popovich
Best defensive coach? Darren Erman (homer pick, and he is an associate head coach. curry said he layed out the fundamentals for the warrior defense of the pick and roll before he was fired. made boston go from bottom half defense to 12th, and top 6 post all star
Best assistant coach? Darren Erman
Best coaching prospect among players? Duncan

Most fun team to watch? Warriors
Best HCA? Warriors
Most athletic player? Davis, for his height. (he reportedly tied with tyreke ina sprint, and I recall tyreke posted comparable numbers to westbrook in teh combine)
Best pure shooter? Curry
Fastest with the ball? Wall
Best off-ball mover? Curry
Best at getting own shot? Durant (scored over 1.2ppp in isolation I recall, and considering turnovers, that dwarfs even jordan in that study)
Best offensive rebounder? Drummond
Best passer? Paul
Best in open floor? Davis http://stats.nba.com/playtype/#!/transition/?PT=player&OD=offensive
in terms of players in transition, he has less volume than the rest, but its sizable enough.
for players with more than 100 possessions, he is first by an absolute landslide. he scores 1.56 ppp in transition. its a full 0.1 point per possession above the next closes, kyle korver, who obviously shoots alot of threes. For comparison, Lebron scores 1.25ppp, westbrook 1.09. personally, I dont count 3 point players in transition.

Does the best leader blow 3-1 leads in a playoff series? I'd say Lebron is still the best leader. With Love and Kyrie going down he still took them to the finals and made it a series with the Warriors.

Crawford, Rivers, Barnes, Redick combined for 34/123 (sub 28%) in those last three games.

LeBron controlled the pace masterfully and shouldered a huge amount of offensive responsibility, but the Finals was a tale of two series. Once GS went small for the final three games, they obliterated Cleveland. Series MOV was +0.3 (GSW) for for the first three games, +14.0 (GSW) for the final three.

My picks along with the guy I picked last year, just cause I'm interested in reminding myself what I thought a year ago>

Last year prediction: Anthony Davis

Forces most adjustments? Steph Curry - I don't know how you watch the finals last year and give any other answer

Biggest acquisition? Lamarcus Aldridge - I think he's a bit overrated and may disappoint high expectations, but still quite the get
Last year prediction: LeBron James

Underrated acquisition? Josh Smith - see below
Last year prediction: Omer Asik

Most improved team? Jazz - at least in terms of W/L records
Last year prediction: Cavs

Most surprising move? Josh Smith - getting Smith for the price the Clippers got him could end up being a massive steal
Last year prediction: Chandler Parsons

ROY? Karl Anthony-Towns - obvious choice
Last year prediction: Jabari Parker

Best of the rookies in 5 years? Karl Anthony-Towns - far from a given, but can't say anyone else is more likely
Last year prediction: Nerlens Noel

Biggest steal in the Draft? Justice Winslow - I'm amazed he dropped like he did
Last year prediction: Mitch McGary

Best international player? Marc Gasol - tough one but he's who I'm most confident in
Last year prediction: Dirk Nowitzki

International breakout this season? Rudy Gobert - well if I'm putting him as most likely to breakout in the world...
Last year prediction: Giannis

Best international player not in NBA? Still don't know.

Best defensive player? Rudy Gobert - already was the best last year by the end
Last year prediction: Joakim Noah

Best perimeter defender? Kawhi Leonard - DPOY for a reason
Last year prediction: Andre Iguodala

Best interior defender? Rudy Gobert
Last year prediction: Joakim Noah

Best defensive team? Grizzlies - taking easy way out and just taking best defensive team from the last half of last year
Last year prediction: Bulls

Best head coach? Pop - won't be easy to dethrone
Last year prediction: Pop

Best motivator? Kerr - what an amazing first season
Last year prediction: Doc

Best at in-game adjustments? Pop - this one's interesting, my choice from last year though is less adaptable than I thought it seems
Last year prediction: Thibs

Best offensive coach? Bud - tempted to give it to Gentry, but NO is still a big question mark
Last year prediction: Pop

Best defensive coach? Pop - once again, the competition from last year is no longer coaching
Last year prediction: Thibs

Best assistant coach? Ron Adams - going with GS again
Last year prediction: Gentry

Best coaching prospect among players? Mike Conley - stealing this idea from someone else, it's a good thought
Last year prediction: Andre Miller

Last year prediction: Thunder

Most athletic player? Anthony Davis - hard to believe I let anything deter me from this last year
Last year prediction: Andre Drummond

Best pure shooter? Steph Curry - obviously
Last year prediction: Steph Curry

Fastest with the ball? Russell Westbrook - yup
Last year prediction: Russell Westbrook

Best off-ball mover? Kyle Korver - I'd still go with him although the word "mover" admittedly seems a bit odd
Last year prediction: Kyle Korver

Best at getting own shot? Steph Curry - it's just so easy for him to be in a shot-plausible place
Last year prediction: Kevin Durant

Best offensive rebounder? Andre Drummond - yup, that's what he's good at
Last year prediction: Andre Drummond

Best leader? Steph Curry - granted he landed in a perfect situation, but still great charisma
Last year prediction: LeBron James

BBIQ? James Harden - just scary smart
Last year prediction: Chris Paul

Game on the line? Steph Curry - he instill a type of fear in defenses I've never seen before
Last year prediction: Chris Paul

Role player? Andre Iguodala - tough question to answer nowadays because traditional "role players" can be all-star-level in value, but so long as Iguodala is being used like this, he'd have to qualify

NBA Champion: Spurs. Pop will make LMA and Timmy frontline unstoppable
WC Champion? Spurs
EC Champion?Cavs. Is there really another answer to this?
MVP? Anthony Davis Its his year!
Build a franchise around? Anthony Davis for obvious reasons

Team with best offseason? Hornets If MKG doesnt go down, I see them hitting Top 5 in the East. Loved the acquisition of Batum for them. Helps their spacing immensely. Adding Lamb and Lin also is underrated.
Biggest acquisition? LaMarcus Aldrigdge
Underrated acquisition? Jeremy Lin to Hornets.
Most improved team? Knicks Well... I mean, they can only go up right? Some good cheap moves, which wont hurt their capspace. Should hit at least 8th seed.
