Bulls have the following lineup

Rose/Hinrich
Wade/James Johnson
LeBron/James Johnson
Taj Gibson/
Noah

Obviously the team has no frontcourt, but I'm fairly certain they could get enough stiffs to play for the minimum and gradually trade down Hinrich for multiple players. Plus they'd have the MLE in 2011(if it still exists). Anyways, the sign and trade(also factoring in cap holds) puts them right around the 56m dollar expected cap mark.
I don't think Wade wants to leave and I don't think he'd go for that. Deng's contract also doesn't match up with Lebrons so the Bulls would have to add Hinrich to the deal.

If the Bulls added Lebron, it would be a straight signing. There is the possibility that they'd package Deng and Hinrich for Bosh or someone, but I find that highly unlikely. Deng's contract is pretty bad.
