This offseason has seen some of the wildest movements by superstar players, including some franchise players leaving the teams that drafted them.

Giannis Antetokounmpo left Milwaukee after 13 years, the Celtics traded Jaylen Brown after 10 years, and LeBron James left the Lakers after eight years.

However, there are still some players like Stephen Curry (17 years) and Devin Booker (11 years) who have been with the franchise for years.
