In today's Cavs rumors and news update, what seemed like a sure reunion for LeBron James and free agent swingman Mike Miller isn't looking that way any longer.
According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN, the Denver Nuggets have supplanted the Cleveland Cavaliers as frontrunners to land the veteran three-point specialist:
Denver currently the frontrunner to land Mike Miller, source told ESPN. Houston and Cleveland also in mix, but Nuggets offering best deal.

Miller played alongside LeBron during his first three years in Miami, instantly becoming a favorite of the four-time NBA MVP during the team's run to two NBA championships.
When Miller was amnestied by the Heat after the 2012-13 season, LeBron was reportedly miffed by the move - a situation which reportedly didn't help the Heat's case during James' free agency this summer. Miller went on to have another productive year in Memphis, upping his value significantly on the open market.
The Cavs could still very well be in on Miller, but they might need to up the ante in order to pull him away from the Nuggets.
