There’s been reports for a while now that the Miami Heat were looking to trade Mario Chalmers and couldn’t quite find a trade partner. Well they finally got it done, shipping him off to the Memphis Grizzlies.
According to NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
The Memphis Grizzlies have acquired Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers and James Ennis in a trade, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Grizzlies will send guard Beno Udrih, forward Jarnell Stokes and a second-round pick to the Heat.
Miami will save $6 million in luxury tax payments on the deal.
Chalmers was the starting point guard for the Heat’s two championship seasons but had been delegated to the bench this season and was no longer apart of their future plans.
