Since 2016 when Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder to sign with the Golden State Warriors, star players who change team have rarely stayed on their new team for an extended period. 

The median tenure for a star with his new team is two seasons. Seven star players last just one season with their new teams.

LeBron James and LaMarcus Aldridge are the only two players who have stayed with their new team for four or more seasons, though Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are each entering their fourth seasons with their respective clubs and widely expected to remain in place.

Jimmy Butler spent 17 months with the Minnesota Timberwolves and then 67 games with the Philadelphia 76ers before going to the Miami Heat in a sign-and-trade. Butler is on an extension and expected to remain with the Heat long-term as he enters Year 4.

Russell Westbrook has lasted just one season in each destination since he was traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2019, and is widely expected to leave the Los Angeles Lakers at some point before the trade deadline.
