Mike Miller will reunite with former teammate LeBron James in Cleveland, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, Chris Broussard of ESPN.com and Gary Parrish of CBSSports.

The free agent shooter had been deciding between the Cavaliers and the Denver Nuggets. Miller, who played with James in Miami from 2010 to 2013, opted to sign with Cleveland on a deal worth $5.5 million over two years, with a player option for the second.

Miller has shot 40.9 percent from three-point range for his career, including a 45.9 percent mark with the Memphis Grizzlies last season. With the Grizzlies, Miller averaged 7.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game -- his highest figure since the 2009-10 season. Miller appeared in all 82 regular season games in Memphis after battling injuries in his three seasons in Miami.

Miller won two NBA championships with the Heat. In Game 5 of the 2012 Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Miller scored 23 points on seven-of-eight three-point shooting to help clinch Miami's first title since signing James, Miller and Chris Bosh.
