Nowhere, apart from idle speculation on this board does it say he was ONLY going to NY. Not sure how people are assuming that this is "fact", no more "misinformed" than my "rant".

That's true, but the agency has a great relationship with NY, and NY probably offered the best deal that was likely to get done.
If you trade him to a team that doesn't have a great relationship with the agency, the deal might not be done on time (or at all) and then it's not worth it. It's comes down to balance of risk vs reward, and NY may have had the best offer and the lowest risk making them a no brainier.
