Bulls are favorite to sign Lebron according to some unnamed NBA executive. 

Bosh too. The United Center will be very busy in May and June.

I've seen/heard it mentioned in multiple places that if they get Lebron, the Bulls would prefer Joe Johnson over Bosh as a running mate. They're not that dumb, are they?

I'm a basketball tard, but if they get Lebron, would it even matter?

Bosh is 3 years younger, better and would get the same max contract as Johnson. Just because you get one great player doesn't mean your next acquisition should be less good on purpose.

Yes.

Lebron, Rose, Joakim, and Johnson as your top players wouldn't be favorites to win the conference?  I'm not being snarky.  I'm legitimately asking, because as a non-follower of the NBA, even I'm fascinated by the Lebron mania.

Oh, they'd still be the favorites, but Bosh provides a much greater and harder to fill need than Johnson does for the Bulls, namely the interior scorer that they've been looking for since they gave Elton Brand away.

Joe Johnson is a really good player, but assuming you keep Deng, you've got enough of that slashing type that filling the 4 with Bosh would be doing the team a better service than putting Joe at the 2 and bringing Deng off the bench.

No, I get that.  But would Johnson be an easier signing, especially considering anyone they get will barely be noticed if Lebron comes?

Is anyone else pissed that it seems now even the Bulls "get it" more than the Cubs?

There is still time to screw this up.

I don't think Bosh is worried about playing second fiddle to anyone, considering his two most-discussed destinations are Miami with Wade or the Bulls with Lebron. I think both Bosh and Johnson would prefer to play with a really good player than to be the top dog on a crap team.

Which is fitting for Joe Johnson, since he forced a trade off of a really good Suns team to be the top dog on a shitty team for the last 5 years.

Steven A. Smith, just as annoying on Twitter as he is in real life.
