Hey everyone, thanks for joining us today for Makov season part two.

If you missed part one, please go back and listen to that.

But if it's been a while since you listened to it or you don't have an incredible memory,

we'll give you a little bit of a summary before we get started.

LeBron James was choosing between the Sixers, Cavaliers, Rockets and Lakers.

He tried to engage Paul Georgia and Chris Paul.

It looked like Chris Paul was going to stay home.

He was actually the first player to agree a five year maximum contract worth a little

over $205 million.

But that fifth year when he'd be making over $46 million is 58% partially guaranteed.

So he's looking at over $180 million in guaranteed money over five years with Paul going to Houston.

Paul George for some reason.

Apparently this is what his client wants.

Went back to Oklahoma City on a one plus one.

And with that being the case LeBron didn't want to go to the Lakers by himself.

And Houston was able to swing just a completely ridiculous trade in a sign trade with Cleveland

because Cleveland wanted to get off money.

They did not force Ryan Anderson on him instead.

They had LeBron James opt in and the trade was for PJ Tucker, Eric Gordon, Nene,

Chinatown, Anuaku, Sochi, Aaron Jackson, the latter two of whom had to have their contracts

guaranteed so they could count as enough salary in the trade.

They got to their 28 million or so.
