From the NBA CBA FAQ:I don't think Pelicans will waive Favors but if they did....
The rules say you can't acquire a player in the same season.
An NBA season starts July 1.
Favors was traded June 30.

A team cannot reacquire a player it traded away during the same season (a season for this purpose being defined as starting on the first day of the regular season and ending on the last day of the Finals). If the player was traded between seasons (i.e., from the first day after the Finals to the last day prior to the start of the next regular season), it cannot reacquire the player prior to the end of the next season.
