The 1996-97 NBA season was the Bucks' 29th season in the NBA.[1] In the 1996 NBA Draft, the Bucks selected Stephon Marbury with their fourth pick, but soon traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ray Allen. Under new head coach Chris Ford, the Bucks appeared to be on their way, breaking out of the gate with a 15-11 start. However, they couldn't maintain that momentum and missed the playoffs again by finishing seventh in the Central Division with a 33-49 record. Following the season, Vin Baker was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics in an offseason three team trade.
