On the court, the fit is more complicated than the nostalgia suggests. Thompson will turn 36 in February and is mired in career-low shooting numbers at 37 percent from the field and 36 percent from three, production that does not obviously lift a middling 13-14 Golden State roster. Any reunion would likely cast him in a limited rotation role, leaning on his experience, spacing, and locker-room presence rather than expecting him to reclaim his All-Star form.
