NBA professional basketball team season
The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Wizards' 39th season in the National Basketball Association .[1] In the 1999 NBA draft , the Wizards selected Richard Hamilton from the University of Connecticut with the seventh pick.[2] During the off-season, the team acquired Isaac Austin from the Orlando Magic , and signed free agents Aaron Williams and Michael Smith .[3] The biggest news would involve the front office as retired All-Star guard, and former Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan joined the team as Vice President in January.[4] After winning their first game of the season, the Wizards continued to under achieve posting a 7-game losing streak. With a 14–30 record midway through the season, head coach Gar Heard was fired and replaced with Darrell Walker , and the team signed free agent Don Reid , who was previously released by the Detroit Pistons . Despite posting a solid 10–7 record in March, the Wizards finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 29–53 record.[5]
Mitch Richmond led the team in scoring with 17.4 points per game, while Juwan Howard averaged 14.9 points per game, Rod Strickland provided the team with 12.6 points and 7.5 assists per game, and sixth man Tracy Murray contributed 10.2 points per game off the bench.[6] Following the season, Austin was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies , while Murray was traded to the Denver Nuggets ,[7] Williams signed as a free agent with the New Jersey Nets , Reid signed with the Orlando Magic , and Walker was fired as head coach.
