In the end, it most definitely does take two to tango, and Feaster's hands were tied when it came to the Boston vs Pittsburgh deal. In fact, I think it's actually commendable that he got the deal done when Pittsburgh could have bent us over the table even more if word got out that Iggy wasn't going to accept a trade anywhere else.
Why did Feaster negotiate a trade with a team without knowing if the player would accept it? He said himself he should have gotten it in writing beforehand. Completely inept.
