No brainer for me.

I don't think anyone has made a bigger splash this season than LTS. Blowing up inboxes, making offers, closing a couple of them... he's really exploded this season after years of hibernating and studying. Massive plans previous years fell apart due to missing deadlines, underestimating the UFA market, swinging and missing on big trades and deciding not to swing for a while, starting a season with a plan and abandoning it midseason to stay out of the tax (or to TRY to stay out of the tax...but failing)... and he just hasn't made those missteps this year.

You may not agree with him. You may think he should do the opposite of what he's doing. But you'd be hard pressed to argue that he isn't doing the damn thing and doing pretty well overall. Even if things don't pan out in the playoffs this year, he's still accrued so much knowledge in S69 (nice) through trial and error that in the seasons to come? with Dom and Angel fully purple? Maybe Scoot moved for his dreamy blue-chip PG? Man, look out. LTS could start dominating and make unbearable 'I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG' memes for seasons to come.

Going with Black Superman for GM of the Year.
This guy pushed his chips in repeatedly, got swept by the house, and still managed to walk with that Bricker trade, which I like for him. He has motion moving forward as long as he can dump Phil.

Josh.

If not for injuries last season, Josh very well could have found himself with another ring. So, as the encore, he brings everyone back who was a contributor on manageable deals. He also went out and signed Alphonse Morelock who has fit in nicely. Then in-season he grabbed another good starting Center (Thomas Walker) in a trade with the Hawks. He's active, smart, and winning. Gets my vote.

This season was a master-class in flipping win-now talent for future prospects. He turned an aging core (including 2 expirings) fresh off a championship into 5 blue pot rookie contract guys and change. Midseason, he started already re-flipping a young guy he got for a win-now PG just starting to enter his prime. It's the first step in turning a realized championship team into a contending team with a fresh window. With a lot of cap space next season, he'll try to stock up there to build around DJ and then fill any remaining gaps by trading his young rookie contract blues for more win-now players. His only misstep was probably failing to get more bird rights guys that he could use for salary since he only has one in Chris Bow.

I'm nominating @AngryBanana for GMOTY. This guy spent the last few years building up a team, he got snuffed out the playoffs last year and he had a decent start this year but ultimately decided it might not work and made a bunch of trades to offload some guys. He is not afraid to say "ya know what, I <expletive deleted> up" and reset his entire multi year strategy. And even after that, he has a chance to get into the playoffs a the 2 seed. No fear in this guy.

I am nominating Xist. I don't know how he do what he do but he always seems to end the Season with a winning record. He's currently in the hunt for the last playoff spot.

I'm nominating Doug. The Pistons are on a tear and are a legitimate championship contender. That's reason enough for this nomination.

I think it should be me. However, I'm going to nominate AB. It's not easy surviving the Glen Sabo Division. AB put a good effort against elite teams . He came close but he couldn't handle the Cavs. AB faced tough competition and found a way to make it to the playoffs. AB deserves the recognition.
