Sometimes if people are not going to pay fairly you just need to cut your losses and let the player walk.
Worst move since then because their have not been allot of terrible trades in the last 3 years, bringing in Bollig or Galiardi are probably the only candidates.

Come on man, really? The best thing about the Jones deal is the open roster spot that a prospect can use. The draft pick is just a bonus. Nothing underwhelming about the trade at all. Jones had virtually no value, Treliving should be applauded for getting anything. $5 bet that he doesn't get more than a try-out offer next off-season?
