Input: Question: How many years did Nick Van Exel play for the Nuggets? Passage:The 199899 NBA season was the Nuggets' 23rd season in the National Basketball Association, and 32nd season as a franchise. During the offseason, the Nuggets acquired Nick Van Exel from the Los Angeles Lakers, and second-year guard Chauncey Billups from the Toronto Raptors. Despite the return of Antonio McDyess, who was re-signed by the team after one season with the Phoenix Suns, the Nuggets continued to struggle under new head coach Mike D'Antoni losing eight of their first nine games. Top draft pick Raef LaFrentz out of Kansas was out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury after playing just twelve games. The Nuggets finished the lockout shortened season sixth in the Midwest Division with a 1436 record. This was also their final season playing at McNichols Sports Arena. Following the season, second-year forward Danny Fortson and Eric Williams were both traded to the Boston Celtics, and D'Antoni was fired as coach.
