LeBron James might not be the only Miami Heat free agent to be donning a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform next season.
According to Sam Amico of FOX Sports Ohio, the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently discussing a potential deal with Chris "Birdman" Andersen:

Andersen appeared in 72 regular season games for the Heat last season, averaging 6.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in just 19.4 minutes per game.
This would be a LeBron James move through and through. Back in 2013, James spoke glowingly of Birdman's ability to set screens on the pick and roll - likening him to another favorite of his, Cavs teammate Anderson Varejao.
"Obviously when I played in Cleveland, me and Andy's chemistry was at an all-time high as far pick-and-roll basketball," James said, via Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, "and I kind of see Bird in that same image, a guy who runs into the picks very hard, sets the solid screen and gets off the screen and I'm able to find him on a lot of rolls."
If the Cavs can land Andersen, James will have the best of both worlds at his disposal on a nightly basis.
