1989–90 New Jersey Nets season
The 1989–90 New Jersey Nets season was the team's 23rd season and its 14th in the NBA. The Nets were not jamming at all in a year of transition mired in last place from the start of the season. The Nets decided to start the rebuilding process by trading Buck Williams to the Portland Trail Blazers for Sam Bowie on draft day. They would go on to finish last place in the Atlantic Division with a league worst record at 17–65.
