Everyone loves a reunion, especially NBA reunions. On the other hand, for it to work, it has to make sense for both sides that are reuniting. 

Say you and an old flame are both single. You run into each other. Suddenly, as you’re catching up, you’re asking yourself – why did we split up in the first place? If they’re asking themselves the same question, you two lovebirds ought to have a conversation. 

Again, the same principles apply to the National Basketball Association. A player and team can separate, and years later, they may realize that it would make perfect sense for them to reunite. 

Perhaps that team traded that player because they didn’t seem to be approaching title contention. Alternatively, it may be that the player requested a trade for the same reason.
