season-high of 34 points came against Golden State in January. Davis was fired the day after the season ended and shortly after, Larry Brown was hired. Brown's first move was to trade Weatherspoon to Boston along with Michael Cage for Dino Radja. The trade fell through after Radja failed his physical, and the Sixers' lack of communication with Weatherspoon, after five years of service, during this time angered him. He reported to camp unhappy though played dutifully as both a starter and, for the first time in his career, as a reserve. Weatherspoon's name was constantly in trade rumors, with the low point occurring during a December 1997 game with Miami, when Brown did not insert Weatherspoon into the first half because he thought he had already been traded. That trade did not occur until February when Philadelphia sent Weatherspoon and Jim Jackson to Golden State for Joe Smith and Brian Shaw. On January 24, 1999, Weatherspoon signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat. After one season with the team, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three-team trade that sent Portland Trail Blazers forward Brian Grant to the Heat. On July 21, 2001, Weatherspoon signed as a free agent with the New York Knicks. On December 30, 2003, Weatherspoon was traded to the Houston Rockets for Moochie Norris and John Amaechi. The Rockets waived him on August 15, 2005.
