What two-time NBA All-Star and 2004 member of Team USA left the Los Angeles Lakers after the worst season in franchise history in 2014-2015?
2015–16 Los Angeles Lakers season The 2015–16 Los Angeles Lakers season was the franchise's 68th season, its 67th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 56th in Los Angeles. The Lakers looked to rebound following its worst season in franchise history in 2014–15. Unfortunately, the Lakers would finish with a franchise-worst 17–65 record. Jordan Hill, Jeremy Lin, Wesley Johnson, Wayne Ellington, Carlos Boozer, Ronnie Price and Ed Davis all departed respectively. The Lakers drafted D'Angelo Russell, Larry Nance, Jr., and Anthony Brown in the 2015 NBA Draft. Afterwards, the Lakers traded for former Pacers' center Roy Hibbert and signed for the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Lou Williams, and forward Brandon Bass. Former Lakers forward, Metta World Peace, was brought back to the team as well after the Lakers amnestied him in 2013. This was Kobe Bryant's final season with the team and in the NBA after he announced his retirement.
2004–05 New Orleans Hornets season The 2004–05 New Orleans Hornets season was the franchise's third season in the National Basketball Association. The Hornets moved from the Eastern Conference's Central Division to the tougher Southwest Division of the Western Conference for the season. Under new head coach Byron Scott, the Hornets played their worst basketball losing their first eight games, which led to an awful 2–29 start. Many players were traded away during the season. The team traded David Wesley to the Houston Rockets in December, then midway through the season dealt Baron Davis to the Golden State Warriors, and sent Jamal Mashburn, who was lost for the entire season with a knee injury, to the Philadelphia 76ers for Glenn Robinson, who never played for the Hornets and was released to free agency.
