With the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement making it difficult for team to have three max contract players, the 2014 decision awaiting LeBron James has become more interesting.

Over the past few months, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies have traded away James Harden and Rudy Gay, respectively, as they avoid the luxury tax.

James' agent, Rich Paul, has been privately telling people for two years that he is interested in bringing his client back to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Paul's agency, Klutch Sports, is based in Cleveland.

"Riley has never given them the run of the place in Miami," one high-level associate of James' inner-circle said, "and they could all be back in business together in Cleveland. For Rich and [business manager] Maverick [Carter], they all see the benefits of getting the credit for bringing LeBron home again."

Dwyane Wade is entering his thirties, while Kyrie Irving may be the NBA's best point guard in his prime in 2014.

James has been contemplating a return to Cleveland throughout his tenure with the Heat, even second-guessing himself the night of decision. When owner Dan Gilbert released his infamous letter, James understood that there was no turning back, according to the report.

Chris Bosh attempted just three shots in the second half of the Miami Heat's loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The Heat know that just three shots aren't enough for a player like Bosh.

“He’s one of our best players, one of our best shooters. …Three shots is definitely not enough for him,” LeBron James said. “We’ve got to do a better job of just trying to find him.”

James took responsibility to look for Bosh more often on offense, as will the rest of the team.

“It’s tough,” James said. “I know I wouldn’t feel much of a threat offensively if I only got three looks in a second half and overtime, so I know it’s tough, so we’ve got to be more conscious about that and try to get him some looks. Or don’t even try. Just make it happen.”

Chris Andersen will sign a second 10-day contract with the Miami Heat on Wednesday, according to a league source.

Heat officials have been impressed with Andersen's progress over the past couple weeks, although the big man has played just one game for Miami.

The Miami Heat have signed Jarvis Varnado to a contract for the remainder of the season.

Varnado had been on two successive 10-day contracts with the Heat.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat are currently the favorites to sign Greg Oden.

The Boston Celtics have also expressed interest in Oden, but sources say Oden is leaning towards signing with either the Cavaliers or Heat.

Oden is hoping to meet with Pat Riley and the Heat in Miami next week.

Oden hasn't played since December of 2009.

The NBA has announced the reserves for the 2013 All-Star Game in Houston.

Fifteen teams have at least one All-Star (Knicks, Heat, Celtics, Bulls, Pacers, 76ers, Blazers, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors and Grizzlies), while 15 teams do not have a representative (Hawks, Nets, Bobcats, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pistons, Bucks, Wolves, Hornets, Magic, Suns, Kings, Raptors, Jazz and Wizards).

The 76ers and Cavaliers each sent a Coaches Vote All-Star despite a losing record, while the Lakers and Celtics have two starters despite a sub-.500 record.

The Nets, Hawks, Bucks, Nuggets and Jazz all have a record over .500 and no All-Stars. 

The All-Star starters are LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul.

Chris Andersen estimates he's at about 75 percent basketball conditioning but hopes to use the next couple weeks to regain top game shape.

"It’s a different game once you get out here and get five-on-five,” Andersen said. “That’s a whole different world of conditioning.”

To aid the process, Andersen -- who signed a 10-day contract with the Miami Heat on Sunday -- will go through two-a-day workouts.

“He has a lean, live body, so I think in the next three or four weeks you’ll see that change even more," Erik Spoelstra said. "He’ll get in better shape as the weeks go by. We have plenty of time left in the season."

LeBron James commented on Twitter about the sale of the Sacramento Kings to a group from Seattle for a valuation of $525 million.

"So the Kings getting sold for 525M!!" wrote James. "And the owners ain't making no money huh? What the hell we have a (lockout) for. Get the hell out of here."

James has over seven million followers on Twitter.

"I do know Mayor Johnson and the city/fans of Sacramento will do whatever it takes to keep the team put. We'll see what happens."

The Miami Heat have re-signed forward Jarvis Varnado to a second 10-day contract. 

Varnado, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the Heat on Jan. 9, appeared in two games with Miami, both victories, totaling two points and two blocks in 12 minutes of action while shooting 1-of-2 from the field.

The Miami Heat have signed forward/center Chris Andersen to a 10-day contract. 

Andersen, a 10-year NBA veteran, has appeared in 482 career games and averaged 5.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.60 blocks and 17.8 minutes while shooting 50.8 percent from the field. Additionally, he has appeared in 31 career postseason games and averaged 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.52 blocks and 17.8 minutes while shooting 58.2 percent from the field.
