2004–05 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 2004–05 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 66th season of the franchise, 56th in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] During the offseason, the Sixers acquired Corliss Williamson from the Detroit Pistons. Under new head coach Jim O'Brien, the Sixers played mediocre basketball losing 12 of their first 18 games. At midseason, the team traded Williamson back to the Sacramento Kings for All-Star forward Chris Webber, and traded Glenn Robinson, who had not played this season due to tendinitis in his left ankle, to the New Orleans Hornets for Jamal Mashburn. However, Webber struggled to adjust to his new surroundings, and Mashburn was already out for the entire season with a knee injury. The Sixers managed to win eight of their final ten games, finishing second in the Atlantic Division with a 43–39 record.
