Thompson is one of the best free agents available this summer. He was a five-time All-Star before missing two and a half seasons due to ruptured ACL and Achilles.

Four executives thought Golden State would try to get Thompson to sign a two-year contract with fellow “Splash Brother” Curry. In contrast, Green has a player option.
