Trade and Career Decline
In 2012, Bynum was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers as part of a four-team deal that also involved Dwight Howard moving to the Lakers. Unfortunately, Bynum never played a single game for Philadelphia due to persistent knee problems. His chronic injuries significantly curtailed his career and led to short stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers, none of which revived his previous form.
