Over the last few weeks, the Cavaliers have surrounded LeBron James with quite a few new teammates. They were part of a three-team trade with the Knicks and Thunder that helped them land J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert. And they also sent a couple draft picks to the Nuggets in exchange for Timofey Mozgov. But according to ESPN.com, LeBron still wants Cleveland to add one more player to their roster. And that player is his former Heat teammate Ray Allen.

Sources told ESPN.com that LeBron met with Allen in Miami recently while he was down there rehabbing his left knee and lower back. They also revealed that several of LeBron's teammates, including Mike Miller and James Jones, have reached out to Allen as well in recent weeks. There's been no word yet as to how receptive Allen has been about possibly playing for the Cavaliers. But now that this story is back in the news again, he'll likely be forced to talk about it sometime soon.

Stay tuned to see if Allen ultimately decides to sign with Cleveland this season.
