He did have the Clippers, but also had the Knicks and Nets. I'm guessing he just threw out two of the bigger markets (LA, New York/Brooklyn) to get some interest. He seemed open to Miami as well. Most of the teams he's been interested in have been out east - so I'm guessing that's where he would prefer.
If I'm a player in the 15-25 range (like Butler), I would do everything I can to go out East. He could easily be starting on the All Star team out East - whereas he probably wouldn't even make the team in the West.
