Washington Wizards
The team now known as the Wizards started as the Chicago Packers in the 1961-62 season. The next season, they changed their name to the Zephyrs. And the season after that, they moved to Baltimore, Maryland and became the Baltimore Bullets, no relation to the 1940s-50s Bullets franchise. In their first year in Baltimore, they finished 4th in a 5-team Western Division.
Prior to the 1964-65 NBA season the Bullets pulled off a blockbuster trade sending Terry Dischinger, Rod Thorn and Don Kojis to the Detroit Pistons for Bailey Howell, Don Ohl, Bob Ferry and Wali Jones. The trade worked out well as Howell proved to be a hustling, fundamentally sound player that helped the Bullets get into the playoffs for the 1st time in franchise history. In the 1965 NBA Playoffs, the Bullets stunned the St. Louis Hawks, 3 games to 1, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. In those Finals the Bullets managed to split the first 4 games with the Los Angeles Lakers before losing to them, 4 games to 2.
