The Memphis Grizzlies have won the race to sign free-agent sharpshooter Mike Miller.
Miller confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that he agreed to a deal with Memphis. Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Miller has committed to sign a two-year deal with the Grizzlies after being pursued by other contenders such as Oklahoma City and Houston.
The Grizzlies have not yet formally announced the deal.
Kevin Durant was at the forefront of Oklahoma City's recruiting push, but sources said Miller ultimately couldn't resist the chance to return for a second stint in Memphis, where he has kept a home since playing for the Grizzlies from the 2002-03 to 2007-08 seasons.
One source close to the process told ESPN that Miller, more than anything, chose the Grizzlies because he feels they are closer to getting him back to the NBA Finals than any other team that pursued him, including Oklahoma City. The deal, sources said, likely will be for two years, with Miller possessing a player option entering Year 2.
