The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Wizards' 39th season in the National Basketball Association. During the offseason, the Wizards acquired Isaac Austin from the Orlando Magic while signing free agents Aaron Williams and Michael Smith. The Wizards continued to under achieve with a 14–30 start as head coach Gar Heard was fired and replaced with Darrell Walker. Despite posting a solid 10–7 record in March, the Wizards finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 29–53 record. Top draft pick Richard Hamilton averaged 9.0 points per game off the Wizards bench. However, the biggest news would involve the front office as retired Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan joined the team as Vice President. Following the season, Austin was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies, Tracy Murray signed as a free agent with the Denver Nuggets, and Williams signed with the New Jersey Nets.
