This is a super interesting one (if I understand it correctly):

LA still wanted him, as they knew about his health, but because it said in the trade agreement he had to pass his physical, the agreement was voided. And since it is passed the trade deadline they weren’t allowed to update the trade agreement. Crazy stuff and a rule that has to be looked at in the off season.

Boy, we sure can draft, can't we. Either they flat out suck or are made of glass. Have we drafted ANYONE recently who lived up to their potential (and stayed healthy)?

SGA is the only one and he was traded away on draft day.

Lakers checked the carfax….came up as a salvage title smh

We got a Center!  Great job Hornets Front Office!

Only the Hornets can WIN a trade, likewise LOSE that trade, and then have it invalidated and still feel like it’s a WIN.

They can't even take credit for SGA. At the time, they traded the pick and chose SGA since that is who the other team wanted as part of the deal.

I suppose you can say Bridges has been healthy, but he's got his off court issues and seems to have stopped trying after getting paid.

Nah. It's worse now if the health issues are real because it still means Williams will miss half the games going forward or get cut in the offseason.

Exactly, the one guy that was a good pick was distracted by the team they traded to. 

Bridges does not count as a good pick, he missed as many games as some of the others and falls into the availability statement. 

This franchise SUCKS at identifying talent.

What makes this more bizarre 

So the trade goes down
Deadline passes.

They say they looked at the Medical’s and he’s good
24 hours later they say they are killing the trade well passed the deadline and the deal due to a “failed physical” just 24 hours after claiming no his medicals looked good.

Now he’s back with Charlotte and the Hornets are seeming like he’s going to play now right after his “failed physical
