Washington Bullets .

Detroit Pistons in exchange for
Olden Polynice .

[15] The Kings finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 28β54 record.

Lionel Simmons provided the team with 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game,
Spud Webb contributed 12.7 points and 6.7 assists per game, and second-year forward
