Before the start of the season the team constructed a major multiple-team trade to get All-Star center Andrew Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers (giving up eventual 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala).

They finished with a record of 34–48 and would miss the postseason in Doug Collins' third and final season as head coach.
× Philadelphia acquired the draft rights to 27th pick Arnett Moultrie from the Miami Heat in exchange for the draft rights to 45th pick Justin Hamilton and a future first-round draft pick.
