Mario Chalmers to the Memphis Grizzlies

Mario 'Rio' Chalmers

The Miami Heat and Mario Chalmers have gone their separate ways after 7 years together.

Chalmers averaged 42.2% from the field and 36% from behind the arc, as he helped Miami accomplish many wins in his career.

The Miami Heat are finalizing the trade of point guard Mario Chalmers and forward James Ennis to the Memphis Grizzlies for Beno Udrih and Jarnell Stokes, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

Reportedly the Heat will receive a future second-round pick as well.

Since last week, trade rumors have been involving Chalmers as the Heat look to shed salary in an effort to avoid the repeater luxury tax. Miami's payroll sits at $91.8 million, removing Chalmers' $4.3-million price tag would save Miami nearly 6 million in tax payments. Beno Udrih's value the the Heat comes from his expiring contract.

The Memphis Grizzlies hope Chalmers will provide an upgrade over Udrih at backup point guard to Mike Conley. The two point guards have been comparable statistically this season, while Chalmers, once a semi reliable 3-point shooter, has came back alive during the past two season from behind the arc.

Chalmers will be missed in Miami. Let's  remember the good times.

LeBron James was not having it from Mario Chalmers on this night.

Chris Bosh let Chalmers have it ... Entertaining Joakim Noah in the process
But that's OK, because President Barack Obama had Mario's back when the team visited the White House.

Chamlers forgot he was on live TV as a rookie

 Chalmers also could win a flop award with the best of them



Chalmers and Bosh teamed up not only on the court but after as well for an epic video bomb.

See ya, Rio!!
