So you get Jones to negotiate with Chicago. So now Jones knows what the Hawks are willing to pay him, and the Hawks know also. So the trade isn't made, and as both parties don't sign the contract.
Jones still might want his options open to be a UFA, and Hawk thinking they have good chance of signing Jones as a UFA, don't give up those three young good assets.
Sign and trades are virtually impossible except on CapFriendly.
