LeBron James may be changing scenery for the next several years, but that doesn’t mean he can’t bring the best of Miami with him.
Prior to his announcement that he would be leaving Miami for Cleveland, reports said LeBron was trying to arrange things so Mike Miller and Ray Allen would be able to join him with the Cavs. Not only does that still appear to be the case, but it looks like the Cavs are also interested in Chris Birdman Andersen.
Multiple reporters have mentioned the Cavs are interested in all three players.

USA Today NBA reporter Jeff Zillgitt also says Miller has “serious” interest in the Heat.
FOX Sports Ohio’s Sam Amico says the Cavs are trying to get Miller, Allen and Birdman:

Miller was said to be closing in on a deal with the Denver Nuggets during the week, but that was put on hold after LeBron decided to sign with the Cavs. The Grizzlies also told Miller they will not bring him back next season, so he’ll definitely be looking for a new home.
