Its both a positive and a negative
On one hand it sucks because there will be less interest in all the awards once the postseason and everything is over, makes it all seem like an afterthought.
On the plus side, for this year at least, pushing it back will eliminate the awkwardness and all the shyt-trolls that come with the MVP receiving his award right after likely being eliminated in the first round.

It seriously takes the bite out of the MVP for sure...99.9999% of the time the regular season mvp is on a true contending team, so there's always the intrigue of him possibly winning the chip... How deflating is it gonna be walking up to accept the mvp with the finals mvp sitting in the crowd grinning and basking in his still fresh championship glow...Half the crowd and voters looking at you with the clarity of hindsight thinking "damn, well now that I really think about it it's clear who the REAL mvp was all along 
"
It's a horrible idea

It was cooler how they did it in the past. I still remember Iverson getting his MVP before game 5 vs Raptors, then cooking them for 52. And that wasn't even his record in the damn series, because he dropped 54 the week before that 
Nobody will give a fukk by then

This, no matter what you want the player to receive it in front of his home crowd, adding even more excitement to the game. And it's guaranteed intensity, because the MVP is pumped up and the other team feels some kind of way and wants to ruin the party.
Only time it was an issue was when DIrk won it and was already eliminated. If anything they could make sure the award is given in the first round so that doesn't happen anymore. Never understood why it took them so long anyway, everyone's had months to think about it.

They're voting on the awards today. That's how it usually goes so the playoffs don't influence your vote on awards.
