They said the same after Magic and then Jordan, there is always another.
The league is built on stars, if they can't find one, they will make one.
Dude, the league kind of sucked for a good 5-6 years after Jordan left.

The year after when Duncan and Robinson beat Ewing? or the year after that when the Shaq and Kobe era began with their first?
Yeah, all of that when the majority of the NBA was awful outside of 2 teams.
The point though, the league will suffer when Lebron leaves. Not saying it will crumble, but it will be worse off. Love him or hate him he is a top 10 player ever.
The stars of the league where guys like Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson, etc. Mostly high volume shot takers who didn't win all that much. There was definitely a let down period from Jordan's retirement to the mid to late 2000's.
This is the right move though.
He would have been a disaster in Dallas. Not sure how he would score without Chris Paul.
