Bring Wade back to celebrate UDs final games as a Heat player.
While doing so engage in talks to bring both Wade and UD into the minority ownership group going forward and announce it next season.
Trade Lowry, Robinson, Herro and some picks to upgrade the roster in multiple positions. Don't need to target another elite star, just bring in above average guys who aren't deficient defensively and who aren't 35yo+ who compliment Bam and Jimmy's games. Enough undrafted guy experiments and let's see what these guys can do with NBA talent supporting them.
Finally get Bam to keep extending his offensive game further out beyond the arc. Explore using Bam in different ways offensively. Run off ball plays to get him open looks going to the basket and encourage him to attack the rim on the fast break more. Feel like Bam could take advantage beating big men up the court for easy points but he rarely does it.
Yeah that's not going to happen, too much pride and remember he is an actual minority owner of the Jazz. You would basically need Pat and Mickey down on their knees to even start that conversation.
Second, we have done the close to impossible but made our assets depreciate more than when the season started. You cant make this stuff up. Before the season Lowry had some value because of what he did last season, you could make the argument the playoffs were a fluke, this season put that to dead rest. Our first round pick is a flop, cant get playing time over some un drafted players. Herro right now is not worth his contract. Duncan has shown nothing. So saying trading Lowry, Duncan and Herro today, they have worse value than the start of the season. Thats some impressive levels of failure if we are being honest. The only one that might have some value is Lowry as an expiring, not for any on the court production. Again this would get anyone fired from any organization. It's nice we own a championship 10 years ago but that doesnt excuse this level of incompetence.
