Why do NBA superstars stay with a team for a decade, then end up switching teams every year afterwards? (alien.top)

For example Carmelo Anthony, he played with the Nuggets then Knicks during his prime years, but after that he just switched teams after a season or two.

Easy. Rookie deals are 3 years, max rookie extension is another 2 or 3. Then they are qualified for a 5 years max deal, once they have that, they can then walk anywhere they want for max deals. You get a cakewalk to easy money staying with your drafted team for 8-10yrs then you can walk and make the money anywhere.
