1969–70 Philadelphia 76ers season

The 1969–70 NBA season was the 76ers 21st Franchise season in the NBA and 7th season in Philadelphia. The season prior, Wilt Chamberlain was dealt to the Lakers. However, a more devastating trade was made before the 1969–70 season. Chet Walker, an all-star forward, was traded to the Chicago Bulls for Jim Washington, who played college ball in Philadelphia, and ended up having a journeyman career. Luke Jackson continued to be hobbled by a major injury sustained in the previous season & never played the same again. That, combined with a very poor draft, were factors in the team losing 13 more games than the previous campaign.[1]
