Well, it looks like Mike Miller wasn't as "legitimately torn" on his future as was previously reported.

The deal - which pays Miller the room mid-level exception and reportedly includes a player option after one year - indicates that Miller, who was said to be struggling between a decision on whether to join the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Denver Nuggets, values the opportunity to play on a championship-competing team led by LeBron James over a larger salary in Colorado.
On the Cavaliers, Miller will likely find himself playing the role of James' backup, although the pair could be deployed together in smaller rotations.
Last season saw Miller average 7.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game with the Memphis Grizzlies, while posting an excellent true shooting percentage of 61.9 percent and a below-average player efficiency rating of 12.5.
