I would look at those decisions in context with previous decisions. DL kept riding Favors/Gobert. He brought Derrick back on a huge over-pay deal, which granted wasn't guaranteed on the second year, but this is quintessential DL. He did it with Exum when it made no sense and when there really wouldn't be a place other than backup for Exum. DL probably regrets being forced to move on from Favors and he's spent so much time thinking about getting him back, or wondering what we'd look like if we had him back, that he didn't really think about cost. Even if he thought Rudy could be traded, he still doesn't need to overpay to get Favors. Our overpay of Favors is independent of what happens with Rudy. I mean, we could lose Rudy, but I think giving Favors a fat contract was very much a DL thing and not a "we need a possible Rudy replacement" thing.
