Sometimes in a person's life, they just need a change of scenery in order to become the best versions of themselves.

NBA stars are no different - just ask LeBron James. After several years of dominating the NBA but failing to win a title, King James took his talents to South Beach, where he won two championships as a member of the Miami Heat.

He then returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers and, just last season, ended the city's lengthy title drought by taking down the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Now that eight of the 16 NBA playoff teams from this year have been eliminated, several stars and teams will be looking to make moves. Much like Kevin Durant heading to the Warriors last offseason, there could be some big names heading to new teams this summer.

Here's a look at five star players from the teams eliminated in the first round who could benefit from a change of scenery before the 2017-18 season tips off.

Paul George, Indiana Pacers

George did everything but demand a trade this season as the Pacers struggled their way to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Though his efforts on the court can't be questioned, as the star forward consistently played with heart and averaged 23.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per night, he clearly isn't thrilled with the direction the Indiana franchise is heading.

A native of the Los Angeles area, PG-13 is on the record saying he'd love to play for the Lakers. When he becomes a restricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see if the Lakers make him an offer.

And, if they do, it'll be even more interesting to see if the Pacers match that offer, especially after George called out teammates Myles Turner and Lance Stephenson after losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Games 1 and 2 this postseason.

Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers

Though he was mentioned in several trade rumors at this February's NBA trade deadline, Lillard stayed put in Portland and, with a late surge, led the Blazers to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

After they were quickly eliminated in four games by the Warriors, it's clear that the Blazers don't have a title-level squad right now.

With three first-round picks in the upcoming NBA Draft, the Blazers could shift into rebuilding mode this offseason. If that's the course of action they do indeed decide to take, trading Lillard could net them a couple more first-round selections.

Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls

Butler is another star who was heavily discussed at the trade deadline and, much like Lillard, stayed with his current team and led them to a No. 8 seed.

However, after winning the first two games of their first-round series against the Boston Celtics in shocking fashion, Butler and the Bulls flamed out and were eliminated in six games.

It's clear Chicago's gamble to bring in veteran guards Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade last offseason didn't pay off, so changes are going to have to be made this summer.

With Rondo almost certainly on his way out the door, trading Butler could be a smart move if the Bulls can't land him some major help on the free-agent market.

Paul Millsap, Atlanta Hawks

Though the Hawks lost Al Horford to Boston last offseason, they managed to hang on to fellow star forward Millsap. 

However, this weekend, Millsap said he'd probably opt out of his current contract and become a free agent this summer.

That's bad news for the Hawks, who have been one of the top five teams in the Eastern Conference for a few years now. Looking down the barrel of a rebuilding effort after losing guys like Jeff Teague, Horford and Kyle Korver in the past year, though, it's not surprising that Millsap is going to get out while he still can.

Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers

The Big Three of Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan has done great things for the Clippers, taking the embattled franchise to heights it had never reached before.

However, after a first-round exit at the hands of the Utah Jazz this postseason, it may be time to blow things up in Los Angeles.

Griffin seems to be the most likely to be moved out of the aforementioned trio, as he was mentioned in trade rumors this season. He also has a player option on his contract that he could exercise before next year.

If he does become available, there are a lot of NBA teams that could use the services of a 28-year-old star forward on their rosters.
