COLORADO SPRINGS — The second time was the charm.
The Nuggets and Mike Miller had eyes for each other in the summer of 2014. But the Cleveland Cavaliers had a bigger bouquet of flowers — the promise of a role alongside superstar LeBron James on a potential title team. So, Miller signed with the Cavaliers.
Now, though, Miller is a Nugget; he was signed Wednesday night. Cleveland, which needed extra firepower off the bench, barely used Miller in the NBA Finals last season, then traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers during the summer. Miller, 35, reached a buyout agreement with Portland this week.
