With Ratliff out for the remainder of the regular season due to his wrist injury, the 76ers only had two other centers on their roster, Matt Geiger, and second-year player Todd MacCulloch; the team then traded Ratliff along with Kukoč, and Mohammed to the Hawks in exchange for Mutombo. By trading Kukoč, who was not included in the original proposed deal, and who also won three NBA championships with Phil Jackson as his head coach during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls, the 76ers had only one other player on the roster who had NBA Finals experience, Snow, who played a total of 24 minutes in 10 games in the 1996 NBA playoffs as a reserve for the Seattle SuperSonics. At one point, the team's record was 42–14, but finished 14–12 the rest of the way, including a five-game losing streak in March. thumb|246x246px|Allen Iverson won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for the season. In the final game of the regular season, against the Chicago Bulls at the First Union Center on April 18, 2001, Brown rested his starters instead of trying to go for a win, as the 76ers lost to the Bulls by a score of 92–86; had the 76ers won this game, they would have had the league's second-best record behind the San Antonio Spurs, and home court advantage over the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Both teams had the same record, but the Lakers' record for non-conference opponents was better than Philadelphia's.

On October 2, the 76ers signed Ademola Okulaja and Pepe Sánchez. Okulaja was on the team's roster, but did not play in any regular season games. He was waived on December 19. Sánchez played 19 games with the 76ers before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks with Toni Kukoč, Nazr Mohammed, and Theo Ratliff for Roshown McLeod and Dikembe Mutombo on February 22. Sánchez played 5 games with Atlanta before being waived on March 12. Three days later, Sánchez would once again sign with the 76res. On October 28, the 76ers signed Vernon Maxwell, who previously played for the team during the 1995–96 season.

The NBA, after experimenting in the early years, restored this original format for the Finals in 1985. As of the 2013–2014 NBA finals played by the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat, the finals have again been returned to a 2–2–1–1–1 format.
