Not only have the Sixers been interested in bringing back Willie Green, they have also reached out to George Lynch.

Agent Steve Kauffman confirmed the contact about Lynch, the 35-year-old unrestricted free-agent forward who spent last season with the New Orleans Hornets and has not played in the NBA this season. Sixers president/general manager Billy King said in an e-mail response that the call was made "four weeks ago."

Whether or not King remains interested in Lynch is unclear.  New York and Indiana have also inquired.
