By Josh Sanchez
Once LeBron James pledged to rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers, many fans began joking about the possibility of the “Miami Heat of Cleveland” becoming a thing. That actually may not be too far off.

According to reports, the Cavaliers have shown genuine interest in free agent shooting guard Mike Miller and the two sides seem to be nearing a deal.
The report comes from Sam Amico of FOX Sports Ohio.
“Unless something unforeseeable happens, he will be joining us,” a team source said.
For those who don’t think Miller in Cleveland could make that much of an impact, let us remind you that LeBron James has never won a title without Miller on the roster.
In addition to James and Miller, the Cavaliers are showing interest in former Miami players Chris “Birdman” Anderson and Ray Allen.
While those players failed to win a championship with James in 2013, they did not have the extra help of players like Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins and Anderson Varejao.
It is safe to say that Cleveland is a major upgrade for all of the targets at this time — at least on the court.
