Here are my predictions for the numerous player awards :

MVP : Lebron James ( 24 PPG, 11 AST, 8 REB, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 50% FG )
Scoring Champion : Kevin Durant ( 32 - 33 PPG, 48% FG )
Rookie Of The Year : John Wall ( 17 PPG, 7 AST, 2 STL, 42% FG )
Most Improved Player : JJ Hickson ( 17 PPG, 8 REB, 1 BLK, 52% FG )
Defensive Player Of The Year : Dwight Howard ( 14 REB, 3 BLK, .5 STL )
Coach Of The Year : Erik Spoelstra ( 67 - 15 )

Feel free to throw in some predictions aswell.

I can't see LeBron hitting those numbers, and I can't see him winning MVP if he does. The NBA voting committee are famous for getting bored with repeat winners, just look at Jordan getting shafted in the late 80s and early 90s. 

I think LBJ could definitely average double digit assists, but I doubt he'll get more than 35 mins most nights and even then, he's definitely (whether he wants to or not) slotting into the Magic Johnson role. His rebounds are going to take a hit this season. I'll go with 22 points, 10-11 assists and 5 rebounds. Those are MVP numbers, but if the Thunder hit 55 wins then the media darling Durant will win it.
