On the same day that Lance Stephenson reportedly turned down a five-year, $44-million deal from the Indiana Pacers, the team went out and signed shooting guard C.J. Miles. 

Wojnarowski reported Monday that the Pacers were pushing to use its full mid-level exception of $5.3 million on Miles, who made $2.225 million last season. 

The 27-year-old averaged 9.9 points and 2.2 rebounds for the Cavaliers last season while starting in 34 of 51 games. Miles should give the Pacers an additional threat from long range, as he shot 43.5 percent from beyond the arc last season. 

The addition doesn't rule out a return for Stephenson, as the Cavaliers still have options to unload salary.
