Carmelo Anthony in 2019 - "This is where my jersey should be retired. Just my opinion, this is where it all started. But maybe not, Joker's got number 15"

Also has a player good enough to have their jersey retired ever had another player who's even better take their number before they retire?

Many times with Orlando and its infamous #1 jersey. To be fair Penny Hardaway fell off young due to injuries and T-Mac got to wear it shortly before Christie, Ariza, Evans and Alston all donned the jersey as well. After a certain amount of time, it just seemed as though too many players wore that jersey before it could get retired

 

Dwight's #12 is another one that Tobias Harris took after he left. #12 also seems to suffer the same fate as #1 in Orlando.

 

Should be noted though that Shaq/Tmac didn't stay that long (hell even Penny didn't that much longer) and all of Shaq/Tmac/Penny/Howard left on a bad note with the Magic.
