The 1998–99 NBA season was the Warriors' 53rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 37th in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1] In the 1998 NBA draft, the Warriors selected Vince Carter from the University of North Carolina with the fifth overall pick, but soon traded him to the Toronto Raptors for his college teammate Antawn Jamison.[2][3] The team also acquired John Starks, Chris Mills and Terry Cummings from the New York Knicks during the off-season. Starks previously played for the Warriors during the 1988–89 season.[4] After losing their first five games, the Warriors started to show signs of improvement in a lockout-shortened season cut to 50 games,[5][6] winning four straight games, then hold a 6–6 start to the season. However, they played below .500 for the remainder of the season, but won two more games than the previous year, finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 21–29 record.[7]

Starks led the team in scoring with a low team-high average of 13.8 points per game, while Donyell Marshall averaged 11.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, Mills provided the team with 10.3 points per game, and Jamison averaged 9.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.[8] Following the season, Bimbo Coles was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, while Muggsy Bogues signed as a free agent with the Toronto Raptors,[9] Tony Delk signed with the Sacramento Kings, and Felton Spencer signed with the San Antonio Spurs.
