While many have been asking the San Antonio Spurs to make a deal by the trade deadline, reports say the Miami Heat are fully out of the mix for Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge.

As evidenced by their trade with the Thunder for Trevor Ariza on Wednesday, it looks like they ran out of patience with what the Spurs might’ve had to offer.
