What the NBA Needs is a Split

In Michael Lee's musing about NBA COTY, he splits the candidates into the Conferences, East then West. I'm reading these breakdowns and thinking, Why can't the League do awards in this manner?

These NBA awards should be divided between the East and the West, period. Wouldn't it be better to have a Defensive Player, MVP, and Rookie of the Year from each Conference? How many times have we heard critics and fans alike say that "the West is tougher," or "the East is more guard-oriented" or some other qualifier that differentiates the two. I mean, it's not like baseball with different rules for the NL and AL, but there is certainly a different mindset when addressing a team like San Antonio versus a team like Boston.
