My nomination goes to False9. This is a culmination award, where this season is the result of the build he has been working on for a few seasons now. He has passed his win total by over ten already and has a very well built roster, considering he ONLY has one P/P player, compared to the other teams who are over 52 wins.
I'll put a bid in on Josh. He probably deserved it more last season after killing it in a "gap" year. But this season, when conventional wisdom would say he should've reset his tax, he saw an opening and got aggressive in trading for Delmar Lopez. He added smaller, nice pieces around what he already had and now he's a sim away from grabbing the 1 seed in the tougher conference. Then add-on his normal duties too and this is a worthy nomination.
I nominate Bucks GM IamQuailMan. Last year Bucks had one of the worse record in the league. Bucks had a great off-season, signing new players that help their team and eventually going to the playoffs.
I was going to nominate MexicanMamba, but unfortunately for him, Doug beat me to the punch by tossing up a half-assed nomination. I thought about nominating ajburman instead...I liked the signings he made in UFA a lot...unfortunately, he didn't follow that up by getting a more definitive big man through trades.
Thus, I am nominating someone who's always in the mix, even when he shouldn't be...xist2inspire.
The Wizards won their division with 56 wins. TV lists their talent as POOR. Their competition was the Nets and the Thunder, both of whom looked like better bets to win from the eye test. They finished with the 5th best record overall. Plenty of teams who finished below them (76ers, Bucks, Blazers to name a few) looked stronger than the Wiz.
Despite a lot of moves overall this season, they were able to grab Brendon Silva in an RFA S&T.
Good, seasoned game planning and building a team that was able to dominate inside help secure xist a nomination, even if some of the previous candidates seemed like more obvious choices.
I'll nominate someone I hate more than anyone else in the entire world, @K-100 . After a big trade for Pearman seemed to not pay any dividends for the first several sims over, he held tight with his investment in a new supporting piece to Wiseman and turned his season around with perseverance clinching the 3 seed - the highest possible seed following the dominant Clippers 69 (nice) win season.
After a decade of terrible basketball at MSG, the Knicks (much like their real life counterparts) came to life this season and made the playoffs. Dr K has an eccentric approach to sim league but unconventional thinking makes the game better, and I think it is commendable to build something you like and not tweak it all season long.
AngryBanana for the Cavs halftime show of Cher singing Do You Believe in Life After Loss. Unfortunately, even though the Cavs improved this season, they're still playing on the same level.
Sources are reporting that LA Lakers GM greepleairport is butthurt for not getting nominated after shedding his top talent and initiating the BEST rebuild in PBSL history...
