Kinda disagree I had a team which had the best record with 4 guys in the 15-29k range. My 18k PF was not among the top scorers and was 4th in rebounding. He not only won MVP, the vote was unanimous. http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/78/overview.aspx?season=16
I agree with that choice. How valuable a player is to the team is not salary or league rankings but rather how the player contributes to the team to help them win.
Back on topic: the time they hand out the MVP trophy has never really been designated from what I've seen. You just have to wait and see.
