The Miami Heat didn’t have much of mourning period when they lost LeBron James as Pat Riley was hellbent on making Miami as attractive as possible as LeBron walked back to his ex in the Cleveland Cavaliers.

One way that Riley has gotten through the pain of losing LeBron is to stitch back together as much of the old Heat team as possible and that’s continuing with the ongoing pursuit of Chris Andersen.
According to NBA scribe Jared Zwerling, the Miami Heat and Chris Andersen are still talking and there still seems to be a major chance that Birdman flies back to South Beach to re-team with two-thirds of the Big 3.
The Heat are still very much in play for Chris Andersen, a source close to him says.

Andersen was instrumental in helping the Heat win the second of their two titles int he Big 3 era and his return would mean a lot for the continuity of the team that Pat Riley is trying to tape back together.
Bosh, Wade and Haslem are coming back and with the additions of Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, the roster is starting to come together nicely for Miami and adding in Birdman and possibly Luol Deng to that mix seems to make the Heat look like contenders once again in the East.
