Thats exactly why you do trade him. He's having the stats of his career, but is going to cool off. Trade now, while the value is high. He's way overpayed for a platoon quality player, and if there's a team out there that will give up value for him, trade him. And replace him with whom? Be careful what you wish for. You replace him with somebody good next year. It really doesn't matter who takes his place for the rest of this season. Gotta have a better plan that just "somebody good." Off the top of my head, I don't know what RFers are free agents after this year. But it'd be stupid to trade Jones if there aren't any better FA's available.
