Mike Miller, who agreed to join the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this week, told ESPN Radio on Thursday that he's trying to recruit another Miami Heat star.

Miller replied "of course," when asked if he was talking about the Cavs to Ray Allen, and noted after Cleveland acquired James Jones on Wednesday, that they're "moving Miami to northeast Ohio."

Allen turns 39 on July 20, and hasn't yet decided whether he'll retire. Miller seems to think the pitch for the Cavs is a good one.

"With LeBron James, you are going to win 55 to 60 games regardless. Now it's about what you do in the playoffs," Miller said. "For us, even with the young talent that they have there, you've gotta bring guys that have been there before, even if they are not giving you heavy minutes."
