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] |

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.
