1976–77 Philadelphia 76ers Season
The 1976–77 NBA season was the 28th season for the Philadelphia 76ers franchise in the NBA. Just months earlier, the American Basketball Association had ended its ninth and final campaign and the two leagues combined. In a special $6 million deal, the Nets sold Julius Erving, the ABA's leading scorer, to the Philadelphia 76ers for $3 million. The other $3 million went to Erving, by way of a new contract. In Philadelphia, Erving joined another scoring machine, George McGinnis, who had come over earlier from the Indiana Pacers. This accumulation of talent brought talk of an immediate championship to Philadelphia. The talented 76ers had posted the best record in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50–32. Gene Shue was the coach & his key players were Erving (the esteemed Dr. J), McGinnis & 6-foot-6 shooting guard Doug Collins. Other key contributors included point guard Henry Bibby and World B. Free. Caldwell Jones started at center with 20-year-old Darryl Dawkins, also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1976–77 New York Nets Season
The 1976–77 New York Nets season was the tenth season for the franchise, the ninth and final season where the team went by the New York Nets name after previously going by the New Jersey Americans in their first season in the now-defunct American Basketball Association, and the first for the team in the NBA. It was also their only NBA season that they played in Long Island before they moved back to New Jersey while retaining the Nets name they've had ever since their second season in the ABA. This season was notable for, as the franchise owner at the time Roy Boe described it, trading the team's very soul for a birth into the NBA since as they were the only ABA team intruding upon another NBA team's territory at the time (in this case, the New York Knicks' territory for the New York City area), the Nets in particular had to pay an extra fee for the Knicks just to play in the NBA. While the Nets tried to get the Knicks to waive the extra fee, to the point of even allowing them th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

On November 30, 1976, the Knicks played their first game against the New York Nets in the regular season, losing 104–103.

They came up three wins shy of tying it, finishing 35–47, and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight season. Pre-season The Jazz previously had the rights to Moses Malone, having selected him with the first pick of the NBA's supplemental draft of former ABA players who were underclassmen. However, to retain Malone the Jazz had to forfeit the #1 pick in the 1977 NBA Draft. They chose to relinquish Malone's rights and retain the pick, which they packaged in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers to acquire Gail Goodrich and the Lakers' 1978 1st round pick. The Lakers received the Jazz' 1977, 1978, and 1979 first round picks and their 1980 second round pick in return. The 1979 pick the Lakers acquired would be the #1 pick in that year's draft, which they used to select Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Dra ...
