What's going on with Jimmy Buckets?
He wants out and he's going to make things unpleasant until he gets his way.
reply
So you are saying there is a chance he is coming to the Raptors. Thank you for your honest, unbiased and completely rational perspective.
reply
He said he'd play anywhere, so that presumably includes Toronto. That he hasn't been traded must mean Houston isn't interested, so I don't know which landing spot makes sense.

I'd like to see it, but maybe they have their sights set on someone else.

Jimmy's contract has 1 year left and is coming up for an extension. He wants a contract extension and get paid the top bucks, but Pat Riley probably thinks Jimmy is past his prime and isn't worth the top bucks. The fact that his contract haven't already been extended means Riley is ready to trade him. Jimmy probably also knows that, so he's I think he's just doing the "you didn't fire me, I quit" kind of thing.

I also think he doesn't want to expend whatever he has left on a franchise that isn't planning on keeping him around.
I'd like to see the Warriors make a win-now Last Dance move for Jimmy. He could be a hyper-charged Iggy for them.
