Spoelstra: Chalmers ‘Can Hold His Head High’ After Trade

The Miami Heat’s assault against the NBA’s punitive “repeater” luxury tax has begun, as has a changing of the guards, with the Heat on Tuesday trading guard Mario Chalmers and forward James Ennis to the Memphis Grizzlies for guard Beno Udrih and forward Jarnell Stokes.

“Rio can hold his head high, leaving on a great note here,” (Erik) Spoelstra said. “He’ll always be remembered as a two-time-champion point guard here in Miami, always welcome here in Miami from here on out. And he can be proud of his time here.”
