The deal with Pitt would never have gotten better. When Iggy declined with Boston, Pitt knew that he would only go to them. They really didn't even have to throw in the first rounder at that point. KK and Feaster had already spent most of the day trying to convince Iggy to go to Boston, not much more they could do after that.
The only blame that Feaster should get is that he was suppose to get Iggy to sign a piece of paper saying he would go to any of the 4 teams on the list and then submit that to the league. Even if they did that, i doubt Edwards would have strong armed Iggy into going to Boston.
