1 The 1st came down to Redick deal or no deal, at deadline time. If that's a panic move or a last-minute decision under the gun, it's still the choice they had to make.
2 The 2nd came down to Redick deal or no deal, at physicals time. When Redick arrived and was in worse shape than they expected, they could have kicked the deal. ALL TRADES are subject to the physicals, and can be voided per the physicals. Or amended (to some degree) by agreement. That was a deliberate choice, to go ahead and roll the dice, calculating that Redick might help and neither Johnson or Iwundu can.
Thanks, F Gump, not sure that's the way it works.
I believe that when a team knowingly acquires an injured player in a trade, they waive the requirement that he pass a physical. Believe the Pels would have had to tell them Redick's status, but there evidently wasn't enough time to review the supporting documentation (MRIs, X-Rays, etc.) before they had to finalize.
Also, even when physicals are an issue, don't know if you can amend after the trade deadline -- your only choice then might be to void or not. Feel free to correct me if my understandings aren't up to date.
If for whatever reason, they did get a chance to void the trade based on post-TDL review of the records, and they decided not to, I guess I think that would be a mildly good sign.
