 Injuries hampered the Bucks from the start as second-year guard T.J. Ford was lost for the entire season due to a neck injury.
 The Bucks would get off to a sluggish start losing 16 of their first 22 games.
 At midseason, the team traded Keith Van Horn to the Dallas Mavericks, and dealt James to the Houston Rockets.
 They continued to struggle losing 15 of their final 18 games including an 8-game losing streak, finishing last place in the Central Division with a 30–52 record.
 The only bright spot came from Michael Redd, who averaged a team high of 23.0 points per game.
 Following the season, head coach Terry Porter was fired, and Pachulia signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Hawks.

The 1976 NBA draft was the 30th annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The draft was held on June 8, 1976, before the 1976–77 season.
 In this draft, 18 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.
 The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip.
 The Atlanta Hawks won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Chicago Bulls were awarded the second pick.
 The Hawks then traded the first pick to the Houston Rockets before the draft.
 The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.
 The New York Knicks forfeited their first-round draft pick due to their illegal signing of George McGinnis whose rights were held by the Philadelphia 76ers.
 The 76ers, the Golden State Warriors and the Buffalo Braves also forfeited their second, third and fourth-round pick respectively due to their participation in 1975 supplementary draft American Basketball Association (ABA) players who had never been drafted in the NBA.
 A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection.
 If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.
 Before the draft, 26 college underclassmen were declared eligible for selection under the "hardship" rule.
 13 of them withdrew before the draft, leaving only 13 early entry candidates eligible for selection.
 These players had applied and gave evidence of financial hardship to the league, which granted them the right to start earning their living by starting their professional careers earlier.
 The draft consisted of 10 rounds comprising the selection of 173 players.
 On August 8, 1976, the league also hosted a Dispersal draft for ABA players from the Kentucky Colonels and Spirits of St. Louis, who were not included in the ABA–NBA merger.
The 2004–05 NBA season was the 35th season of the National Basketball Association in Cleveland, Ohio.
 During the offseason, the Cavaliers acquired Drew Gooden from the Orlando Magic, and Eric Snow from the Philadelphia 76ers.
 In his second season, expectations were high for LeBron James as the Cavaliers hoped for a return to the playoffs.
 Through the first half of the season, the Cavs held a 30–21 record at the All-Star Break as James was selected to his first All-Star selection in the 2005 NBA All-Star Game along with Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
 However, as March began, the Cavaliers were unable to upgrade at the trading deadline as the team went on a six-game losing streak.
 Head coach Paul Silas was fired and replaced by interim Brendan Malone.

 However, after drafting Elvin Hayes first overall in the 1969 NBA Draft, they made their first appearance in the playoffs in 1969.
 After Hayes was traded, Moses Malone was acquired to replace him.
 Malone won two MVPs during his time in Houston, and he led the Rockets to the conference finals in his first year with the team.
 He also took the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981, but they were defeated in six games by the Boston Celtics.
 In 1984, the Rockets drafted Hakeem Olajuwon, who led them to the 1986 Finals in his second year, where they lost again to Boston.
 In the next seven seasons, they lost in the first round of the playoffs five times.
 They won their first NBA championship in 1994, led by Olajuwon, who won Finals MVP.
 They repeated as champions the next year, and Olajuwon won Finals MVP once again.
 To date, the Rockets have not advanced to the finals again.
