Damn, I'm disappointed Houston isn't on the list. But honestly, I don't see any way that this list stays the same after the James/Wade destinations gets settled. Imagine that James and Wade both sign in Miami. Suddenly a S&T with NY pretty much guts the Knicks and leaves them with a very weak team around Bosh. Say they trade Lee (also on a sign-and-trade) and Gallinari, they could potentially go into next season with a starting lineup of Duhon, McGrady, Chandler, Bosh, and Barron. That team isn't going to get anywhere in the east. And if the Lakers win a championship, they might be pretty happy with their current roster. That leaves the Bulls, who really have the least to offer Toronto - Noah and Rose aren't going anywhere, and beyond those two, Chicago doesn't have a lot to offer.
It does shed some light on Bosh's priorities though: the one thing that the five cities have in common is that they are all cosmopolitan, international cities. Only one of them (the Lakers) is a guaranteed contender.
