The Cleveland Cavs and free agent swingman Mike Miller have just agreed upon on a two-year deal, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard.
Per Broussard, the deal is extremely player-friendly, giving Miller the option to once again test the free agent market after year one:
Sources: Mike Miller will sign with Cleveland. 2 yr deal with player option after 1 yr. Miller turned down more $ from Houston & Denver

The main reason why Miller likely turned down better money from Houston and Denver is LeBron James. Both James and Miller have great respect for one another, going back to their three seasons together with the Miami Heat in 2010-13. After the 34-year-old was amnestied by the Heat in the summer of 2013, James was reportedly miffed with the decision and didn't fully forgive Heat president Pat Riley for exercising the clause on a proven winner such as Miller.
The three-point specialist had another big year from long range during his 2013-14 campaign with the Memphis Grizzlies. His 45.9% shooting percentage stands as the second-best mark of his 14-year NBA career.
