The 1999–2000 NBA season was the 30th season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio.[1] The Cavaliers had the eighth pick in the 1999 NBA draft, and selected Andre Miller from the University of Utah. During the offseason, the team acquired Lamond Murray from the Los Angeles Clippers, and signed free agent Mark Bryant. After playing just five games the previous season, Zydrunas Ilgauskas would miss the entire season due to foot injuries.[2] Under new head coach Randy Wittman, the Cavaliers played around .500 with an 11–9 start in their first 20 games, but then continued to struggle losing ten of their next eleven games. The team finished 6th in the Central Division with a 32–50 record. Shawn Kemp led the team in scoring, rebounds and blocks, and Miller made the NBA All-Rookie First Team, averaging 11.1 points and 5.8 assists per game. The Cavaliers also finished the season with the highest amount of defensive 3-second violations, a record that still stands today.

Following the season, Kemp was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, Bob Sura was traded to the Golden State Warriors, Andrew DeClercq was dealt to the Orlando Magic, Bryant was released to free agency, and Danny Ferry signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs.

For the season, the Cavaliers changed their uniforms which would last until 2003.
