1998–99 Golden State Warriors season

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]
