Miami Heat team president Pat Riley is keeping the door open for a possible LeBron James return if the superstar is interested.

Riley discussed a possible reunion with James on Le Batard and Friends.

"I would leave the key under the doormat if he would call me and let me know he’s coming," Riley said (h/t Brad Sullivan of Heat Nation). "I would do that, but I doubt very much if that key...that key's rusted now."

"If he ever wanted to come back," Riley added later, "then I'll put a new shiny key under that mat."

One of the greatest basketball minds of all time wants the GOAT back.

Speaks volumes.

I know it's incredibly unlikely, but if Lebron bailed on LA after realizing he can't win with them again to go back to Miami because he thinks he has a better shot there I'd laugh my arse off.

Lebron is under contract so Riley is going to get a serious fine for that.

Over the top blatant tampering. Might get more than just a fine for that.

Forget a shiny key, just put some books under the mat to lure Lebron back.

Since it’s apparently okay for LeGM to tamper with a Pelicans contracted player I hope nothing comes of this.

Well you know Lebron ain’t playing for a team with no shot at title
Lakers are cash strapped and have no assets to trade

Correct.

He’s so good that most every year his team has a shot.

Out of the many issues with the NBA, blatant tampering like this is not at the top, but it is damn close.

I’m sure Pat Riley is just mortified at the prospect of being fined
