Mario Chalmers time with the Heat appears to be over. 

According to Yahoo Sports, the point guard and guard/forward James Ennis were swapped for guard Beno Udrih, forward Jarnell Stokes, and a second round pick Tuesday. 

In the final year of his contract, Chalmers was shipped because he "was no longer part of the Heat’s future" plans. Moving the two-time NBA champ will also reportedly save the Heat $6 million in luxury tax payments.
