In this Cavs rumors and news update, the Memphis Grizzlies have signed free agent Vince Carter away from the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $12 million deal - prompting speculation that Memphis Grizzlies free agent Mike Miller is on his way to the Cleveland Cavs.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Miller is doing everything in his power to join his old buddy, LeBron James, in Northeast Ohio:

Prior to spending last season in Memphis, Miller played with the Miami Heat during LeBron's three years on South Beach - providing undeniable toughness and a dead-eye shot from deep to the Heat's two championship teams during that period.
When Heat president Pat Riley declined to re-sign Miller in the summer of 2013, James was reportedly miffed. So, it's no great surprise that James is stumping for Miller to join him in Cleveland.
