So I don't think there is some special information to be gotten at by trying to understand where he'll be the face of the franchise. The real question is where can he win, and possibly increase his earning by playing in a big tv market.

Take the Knicks off the list, take the Clippers as well now, I don't think Lakers are a great team with just him and Kobe, Dallas with Dirk would be very good, Chicago with Rose would be awesome, better than him and Deron. The other big markets, Philly has nothing to offer, same for Washington and Houston.
I'm not sure exactly what your point is now. Earlier you were suggesting that he's already the "face" of the franchise in Orlando, meaning you didn't understand how that would be his rationale for leaving. It obviously is. He wants to be the face in a big market, not Orlando.

Now you seem to be saying that he could be the face of the franchise in just about any big market, which is right. But I was responding to your initial point that he's already achieved that status in his current city.
