Question: To which professional American basketball team was a former Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers player traded during a season for the Chicago Bulls in which they finished in last place in the Central Division?
Context: 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 2003–04 NBA season was the Bulls' 38th season in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Bulls re-signed free agent and former All-Star forward Scottie Pippen, who won championships with the team in the 1990s along with Michael Jordan.  However, they continued to struggle finishing last place in the Central Division with a 23–59 record, missing the playoffs for the sixth straight season.  Following the season, Pippen retired and Jamal Crawford was traded to the New York Knicks.

The 2000–01 NBA season was the Bulls' 35th season in the National Basketball Association.  The Bulls continued to struggle losing 42 of their first 48 games at the All-Star break, as they finished 15–67, the worst record in the Central Division and the worst league record.

In the offseason, the Clippers signed free agent Mark Aguirre, who won championships with the Detroit Pistons.  Under new head coach Bob Weiss, the Clippers played slightly under .500, but later on struggled posting a 7-game losing streak between December and January.  At midseason, the Clippers traded Danny Manning, who was selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game to the Atlanta Hawks for All-Star forward Dominique Wilkins, while Aguirre was released as the team signed undrafted rookies Bo Outlaw and Harold Ellis.  Wilkins averaged 29.1 points per game in 25 games for the team.  However, the Clippers would lose 14 of their final 16 games and finish last place in the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record.
