John Delong of the Winston Salem Journal is reporting that the three team trade that saw George Lynch become a Hornet and Derrick Coleman return to Philadelphia was contingent on all eight players involved passing their physicals by today, but there was a problem. After forward George Lynch, the key player in the trade by Charlotte's perspective of things, undertook his physical the Hornets founds that he'd require more surgery.  Lynch injured his foot in the playoffs last season and had surgery shortly after, missing the entire preseason.

The Hornets however waived the contingency as far as Lynch is concerned, meaning the deal will still go through without any problems, and expected that he'd miss up to 30 games in the season after the surgery.  Lynch is scheduled to undergo surgery in Charlotte on Thursday.
