NBA.com released its annual anonymous survey of all 30 general managers today.
The 57-question survey asked everything from, "Who's going to win it all?" to, "Which player is going to have a breakout season?"
It gives you a great idea of what NBA insiders are really thinking, because executives are protected by anonymity and can answer truthfully.
