The trade that brought Andrew Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers in the summer of 2012 may go down as one of the biggest blunders in Sixers franchise history. Bynum never played a single game for the franchise due to persistent injuries. After the trade to Philadelphia, Bynum’s career went on a downward spiral that has had him out of the NBA after the 2013-2014 season.
The trade put the 76ers in a downward spiral that allowed former general manager Sam Hinkie to tank for several seasons.
