Isiah Thomas just said on the "Players Only" broadcast that if Boston gets the number one seed we should run the end-of-the-season awards. And funnily enough, it's not as crazy as it sounds.
Brad Stevens will be the top candidate for Coach of the Year if we get the number one seed;
Danny Ainge will be heavily considered for GM of the Year for both the Horford signing (2nd biggest signing of the summer) and for sticking pat at the deadline and not overpaying for another star, let alone the fact that we should have the best odds in the lottery;
Jaylen Brown will be considered for Rookie of the Year, but I highly doubt that he gets it over Saric and Brogdon, let alone if people consider Embiid's short season;
IT will be in the MVP consideration, though he won't get it;
Smart will be in the Sixth Man of the Year consideration, though he won't get it;
The only award where a Celtic won't be considered is the Most Improved Player of the Year Award.
And then you add in IT for a lock for an All-NBA team and one or more of Smart, AB, and Crowder for All-Defensive teams, we should be well-represented in the end-of-the-season awards.
