    What is this thread about? To test logic?
    You Win the Finals of course.... Even if you win the lottery first, you build a team to Win the Finals....

    I don't think the lotto we are talking about is the draft.

    Does this really belong in the GARM?

    This guy clearly has no idea what this is for and has no basketball knowledge

    I think it really depends on how much money you make. $3000 is peanuts for some, but a lot of money for others.

    Add some zeros and I am off the bandwagon.

    $3000 is a nice sum of money but it is nothing compared to the euphoria that will happen from the Rockets winning a championship. And why is that number so low? If I won the lottery and found out all I won was $3000 I would be mildly upset.

    I'd spend $3,000 on a bar tab after we win a championship so clearly I'll take that ring.

    If it's either or, then I'm definitely going to pick for the rockets to win and then put all my savings on the rockets to win the season early in the year so the odds are ridiculous (Like the guy who bet on the Cards to win the world series)

    The Championship wouldn't be so special because hypothetically speaking, I'm the reason they won, not the team's hard work.

    $3000 is not that much for a lottery. $3,000,000 and now we're talking
