The general managers of the NBA have predicted that Victor Wembanyama will win both the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and Defensive Player of the Year, with the San Antonio Spurs securing the NBA championship title.

The Spurs received a narrow 50% vote share compared to the Oklahoma City Thunder's 43% in the championship prediction. The Warriors' LeBron James and Jaylen Brown were hailed as the most impactful offseason moves, with Giannis Antetokounmpo receiving the most significant impact from GMs for a single player acquisition. Stephen Curry was unanimously chosen as the league's best shooter, and Jalen Brunson of the Knicks was deemed the league's best leader.
