Chicago is a way better fit for what he wants.

New Jersey.

A new owner with bottomless pockets.

A new arena on the way.

Access to the largest media market in the world.

Best friend, Jay-Z.

Oh, and a pretty nice core, especially if they end up with the #1 pick. Wall, Lopez, whoever they get in exchange for Devin Harris.

LeBron goes from being a franchise player to being the franchise player of all-time. He'd be the poster boy for a complete rebirth of basketball in the NYC area.

Downside:  He'd be playing in Newark, NJ for two seasons.  That city makes Cleveland look like Florence, Italy ;)
But you're overlooking their impending move to Brooklyn where he gets to be the first face of that relocated franchise, in the biggest market, with a young and decent core AND since that area of NY lost the Dodgers, Brooklyn has been looking for another team to get behind and worship.  Bron will think long and hard about passing up that opportunity if NJ's owners do their homework on how to sell that opportunity to Bron.

Yeah, but it's two years in Newark.  :P

I yield to no man in my hatred of NJ --- but how much time would he spend there? Clearly he'd live someplace better and be driven wherever he needed to get.
