1999–2000 Los Angeles Clippers season
The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Clippers' 30th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 16th season in Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Clippers acquired Derek Anderson from the Cleveland Cavaliers, and began playing in their new arena, the Staples Center. The Clippers are co-tenants with their crosstown rival, the Los Angeles Lakers. The team continued to struggle under head coach Chris Ford, as he was replaced with interim Jim Todd after 45 games, while Troy Hudson was released as the team signed free agent Jeff McInnis. However, the Clippers then suffered a 17-game losing streak in the final two months of the season, finishing last place in the Pacific Division with a league worst record of 15–67. Top draft pick Lamar Odom provided a bright spot as he averaged a solid 16.6 points per game, and made the All-Rookie First Team.
Following the season, Anderson signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs, Maurice Taylor signed with the Houston Rockets, and Todd was fired as coach.
