The 1999-00 Utah Jazz season was the team's 26th in the NBA.[1] During the offseason, the Jazz signed free agents Olden Polynice and Armen Gilliam. The Jazz were now the oldest team in the NBA still led by John Stockton and Karl Malone, who were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game. The Jazz would recapture the Midwest Division with a solid 55–27 record, qualifying for the playoffs for the seventeenth straight season. In the playoffs, the Jazz defeated the Seattle SuperSonics three games to two in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, but would lose in five games to the Portland Trail Blazers in the semifinals for the second consecutive year. Following the season, Jeff Hornacek retired after playing fourteen years in the NBA, Gilliam also retired and Howard Eisley was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
