Two-Time NBA Champs Mike Miller and James Jones to Join LeBron in Cleveland

LeBron James' former Miami Heat teammates James Jones and Mike Miller are set to join him in Cleveland in hopes to win an NBA Championship for the franchise.
Miller and Jones were part of the Heat team that won back-to-back NBA Championships with James in their lineup.
It's quite obvious as to why they were picked to play for the Cavs. "Our goal is to win a championship," Miller said.

Cavs General Manager David Griffin introduced the two, who expressed excitement in playing with LeBron again, this time with a different team.
Miller had a chance to play with LeBron at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, James' alma mater and said King James looks good after losing 10 pounds. Miller said he is determined to give Cleveland its first ever NBA Championship.
"For us to be a part of this and hopefully help him do what he wants to do would be awesome," said Miller.
Miller and Jones are one of the league's more efficient long-range shooters. They will give the Cavs an arsenal of outside shooters including All-star Kyrie Irving and even Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Love, who might be joining the team in a trade before the month ends.
Cleveland reached the NBA Finals once during its 44-year franchise in 2007 which is the team's only Eastern Conference title.
With a disappointing 2013-2014 season, the Cavs announced Griffin as full-time GM and sought the services of David Blatt as its new head coach. James, a four-time MVP, announced he was suiting up for the Cavs again.
The Cavs are looking into signing Kevin Love and even Ray Allen, who's also James' teammate during the Heat's championship run.
Jones admitted that he doesn't know what Allen is thinking right now but "we'd love to have Ray."
