I just don't see him going to Chicago, because he'd simply be either a) constantly in Jordan's shadow (and looked upon as far less if he didn't end up winning multiple championships there) or 2) the guy who surpassed Jordan in Chicago. I just don't see a guy that thinks so highly of Jordan going to Jordan's team and trying to equal or better him in Jordan country.

I don't see New York, because let's face it, they have no team around him. I don't see New Jersey because he doesn't want to waste a couple years in Newark waiting for the move to Brooklyn. I don't see LA Clippers because nobody wants to play in the shadow of Kobe or for Steerling. I don't see Chicago because Rose is a ball dominant guard and Lebron is a ball dominant forward. No way they work out.
If he doesn't stay in Cleveland, Dallas or Miami seems like the most likely scenario. Neither State has a State Tax so any extra money he makes in Ohio could be offset by that. And Miami and Dallas both have super stars already. Miami is the most likely destination. Him and Dwade would really make some noise.
