 | | The Lakers, because of the trade of O'Neal to the Miami Heat, ended the season with a losing record and missed the play-offs. |
 | | The Clippers, although also missing the play-offs, ended with a better record than the Lakers (the first time since 1993) and have great hope for the future, with young rising stars such as Elton Brand, Corey Maggette and Shaun Livingston. |
 | | One bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season was forward Bobby Simmons winning the 2004-05 NBA Most Improved Player award after averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. |
