No. 4 2012 Sixers trade Andre Iguodala to Nuggets, Nikola Vucevic and Moe Harkless to Magic, acquire Andrew Bynum from Lakers, Jason Richardson from Magic
The Bynum deal was such a disaster. The Sixers were looking to build off the surprising success of the 2012 playoffs where they were just one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals and were hoping Bynum would be the guy to do it. After all, he did average 18.7 points and 11.7 rebounds and was an All-Star with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, everything went wrong. Bynum suffered so many knee injuries by hanging out in bowling alleys and he would not even suit up once for Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Richardson would play a grand total of 52 games with the Sixers in three seasons due to injuries.
Down in Orlando, Vucevic has blossomed into one of the best centers in the league while Iguodala became a Finals MVP with the Warriors in 2015. This trade was a disaster in every sense of the word.
