More of a case where they were faced with a fast-approaching deadline, they had to make a decision based on incomplete information, and they made what they believed was the best decision they could on the information they had.
Donnie was looking to do something that would help (or at least might help) the team THIS season. Based on the information presented to him, neither Johnson nor Iwundu was expected to be part of the rotation in the playoffs. So he used the second round pick to make a move that would at least have a chance of providing an additional tool in the playoffs.
Given the circumstances, I'm still okay with the move, although I agree that the injury takes the shine off, at least to a degree.
