1999–2000 Chicago Bulls season

The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Bulls' 34th season in the National Basketball Association. The Bulls won the Draft Lottery, and selected Elton Brand out of Duke University with the first overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft, and also drafted Ron Artest out of St. John's University with the sixteenth pick. During the offseason, the team acquired Hersey Hawkins from the Seattle SuperSonics, and signed free agents Fred Hoiberg, Matt Maloney, and re-signed former Bulls guard B.J. Armstrong, and former Bulls center Will Perdue, who both won championships from the team's first three-peat in the early 1990s. However, the Bulls' struggles continued as they lost 26 of their first 28 games, posting 10 and 11-game losing streaks respectively. At midseason, Toni Kukoč was traded to the Philadelphia 76e
