The 1998-99 NBA season was the Bucks' 31st season in the NBA.[1] The Bucks hired head coach George Karl, who previously coached the Seattle SuperSonics, and traded their top draft pick Dirk Nowitzki to the Dallas Mavericks for Robert Traylor. Midway through the season, they acquired Sam Cassell from the New Jersey Nets in a three team trade. The Bucks entered the playoffs after a seven-year playoff drought, finishing fourth in the Central Division with a 28-22 record. In the first round of the playoffs, they would be swept by the Indiana Pacers in three straight games.
