NBA professional basketball team season
The 1998–99 NBA season was the Mavericks' 19th season in the National Basketball Association .[ 1] In the offseason, the Mavericks acquired point guard Steve Nash from the Phoenix Suns , traded their top draft pick Robert Traylor to the Milwaukee Bucks for rookie Dirk Nowitzki , signed free agent Gary Trent and released Khalid Reeves to free agency. In a season shortened by a four-month lockout, the young Mavericks still struggled losing eight of their first nine games, but began to show promise by posting their first winning record at home in nine years at 15–10. However, with Cedric Ceballos only playing just 13 games due to a wrist injury, they were still a mile away from the playoffs as they finished fifth in the Midwest Division with a 19–31 record. Michael Finley led the team averaging 20.2 points per game. Following the season, A.C. Green was traded back to the Los Angeles Lakers , and Samaki Walker signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs .
