You can say that the failure was perhaps not getting that stuff in writing, but I don't know that it changes the outcome at all.
And the Boston deal ended up being no better.

I believe that if Boston was the only option he was prepared to go here, but he preferred Pittsburgh.
It's unlikely that Iggy would ever have agreed in advance in writing that he'd approve a number of teams. I expect he, or any other player, would want to see the options available and make an informed choice.
