The 1998-99 NBA season was the Wizards' 38th season in the NBA.[1] Prior to the start of the season which was delayed by a four month lockout, the Wizards traded Chris Webber to the Sacramento Kings for Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe. Richmond had a solid season averaging 19.7 points per game. Rod Strickland finished second in the league with 9.9 assists per game. However, the Wizards continued to under achieve as they finished sixth in the Atlantic Division with a disappointing 18-32 record.
