The 1998–99 NBA season was the Raptors' fourth season in the National Basketball Association. In the 1998 NBA draft, the Raptors selected Antawn Jamison from the University of North Carolina with the fourth overall pick, but soon traded him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for his college teammate Vince Carter, who is also second-year star Tracy McGrady's cousin. During the off-season, the team acquired Charles Oakley from the New York Knicks, acquired Kevin Willis from the Houston Rockets, and signed free agent Michael Stewart.
