With news breaking this morning that LeBron James may meet with the Golden State Warriors in free agency this offseason, ESPN's Chris Haynes reports that James will also consider a potential reunion with the Miami Heat.
.@ChrisBHaynes tells us now on @ESPNLosAngeles if these teams had a max slot LeBron would listen to them b/c he respects them. Teams are the Warriors, Spurs, & less so the Heat (b/c he's been there done that). Wouldn't rule out Lakers, Cavs & Rockets. No Clippers.

It remains to be seen if Miami would have any interest in such a reunion given the animosity Heat president Pat Riley has towards LeBron due to the manner in which he left the organization following the 2013-14 season.
James famously spent four seasons with Miami from 2010-2014 with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, leading the franchise to two championships while winning two MVP awards.
Miami currently has a 29-22 record on the season and are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers are just one spot ahead of them with a 30-20 record.

James is expected to decline the $34.6 million player option on his contract for next season with the Cavs in order to explore free agency. A number of teams, specifically the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Clippers are planning to pursue him on the open market.
He is averaging 26.6 points, 8.7 assists, and 7.9 rebounds per game this season.
