The ledger
The Stockton–Malone era (1984–2003)1998–99 Utah Jazz
The lockout pushed the start of the season to February 5, 1999 and cut the schedule from 82 games to 50. It also gutted the team standing in Utah's way: Michael Jordan retired for a second time, Scottie Pippen was traded to Houston, Dennis Rodman signed with the Lakers and Phil Jackson's contract expired . The Jazz, twice runners-up, had every reason to think the third try would be theirs.
11 in, 0 out. Every move the record shows for this season, with the reason where a source gives one. Where no reason is documented, the entry says nothing rather than guess.
