The
All-Star point guard
Following the season, Grant was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers after just one season in Seattle,[35][36][37] while Maxwell was traded to the New York Knicks, but was released to free agency, and re-signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia 76ers,[38] and Person retired. For the season, the Sonics added new dark red alternate road uniforms, which remained in use until 2001.[39]
Offseason
Draft picks
Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 13 | Corey Maggette[40] | SG/SF | United States | Duke |
The 1999 NBA Draft saw the Seattle SuperSonics with the 13th and 41st overall picks, the latter of which was acquired by the Denver Nuggets.[41] With the remaining pick, the Sonics selected Duke University's Corey Maggette,[42] regarded by some as the "best pure athlete in the entire draft."[43]
On draft night, the Sonics traded Maggette to the Orlando Magic, along with veteran players Billy Owens, Don MacLean, and Dale Ellis. In return, the Sonics received veteran forward Horace Grant, a three-time NBA champion with the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls (1991–1993).[44] They also received two future second-round draft picks (No. 42 in 2000 and No. 42 in 2001) in the deal.

Regular season
Seattle began the season by winning 9 out of their first 11 games, capping off the run with a win over the Houston Rockets on November 20, 1999. Their strong play continued through the month of January, where a 7-game win streak put them at a season-high 14 games over .500 (27–13). Though the Sonics only managed to win 18 of their final 42 games, their early-season success offset their late-season losses, keeping them safely within the playoff picture.[45]
With two games left in the season, the Sonics overcame the Sacramento Kings in overtime to secure the 7th seed in the Western Conference.[46] This assured that the team would avoid the 1st-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, who finished the season with an NBA-best 67–15, in the first round of the playoffs. Particularly, the seeding eliminated the possibility of unfavorable match-ups with a young Kobe Bryant and season MVP Shaquille O'Neal.[47][48]
The Sonics would lose their final game of the regular season and finish with a 45–37 record.[49]
