Cleveland Cavaliers: Kevin Love, 8 years
After LeBron James announced his return back to The Land in the summer of 2014, Kevin Love was traded from the T-Wolves to the Cavs for two No. 1 overall draft picks: Andrew Wiggins (2014) and Anthony Bennett (2013). The next four Cavs seasons all featured 50+ wins and a trip to the NBA Finals. The three subsequent seasons after LeBron left? The Cavs won 60 games COMBINED. But now the future could not be brighter with Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and newly acquired Donovan Mitchell.
Kevin Love has been in Cleveland through it all, but this is the last season of his current contract.
