Markieff Morris should be top 3 in '6th man' voting too.
Not a bad coup from a team expected to finish bottom in the league.

lol, Masai Ujiri might win exec of the year for the second season in a row. He just turned the raptors season around from being a non-playoff team to a division winner. He also made the F*** Brooklyn comments while voting was still taking place, so he is a buzz with the media members right now. The rudy gay trade was a coup for the raptors who will have a chance to retain vazquez and patterson since both are restricted free agents. Getting rid of Barngani while getting draft picks back including a first rounder was one of the best trades in the nba in recent memory. Not trading Kyle Lowry to the knicks for a first round pick was also a good move because his value has increased and he looks like he wants to resign in Toronto for the next few seasons.

MIP is probably the award that isn't strictly biased to a teams record compared to others.
Also finishing 48-34 in the West is impressive for this team.

How could you possibly get that mixed up.

Fair. I wonder if he can sustain this with a full year of Bledsoe next year. Assuming they are able to retain Bledsoe. Would be interesting to see.

We need to assess Ujiri's skills under a more challenging situation. Outsmart Knicks front office is too easy (both in trading Barngani and in not trading Lowry).
