If the Bulls don't land one of the big 3 they're f***ed, going to be a .500 team for the next few years barring any unforeseen circumstance like lucky FA signings. One of those 3 would make the Bulls a perennial contender, but without them, they won't be good enough to get any high seeds or have any real shot at making it out of the second round, and they won't be bad enough to get a lottery pick.
They currently are in NBA hell, right in the middle of being great and being horrible, but a FA or 2 could change that. If they don't get one of the big 3 or 4 if you include Johnson, I hope they don't blow their wad on a couple of lesser guys. Its always advantageous to have a lot of cap space. I know its beyond a longshot, but if you were Lebron and seriously looked at the 2 rosters, Cleveland and Chicago, you would have to say Chicago is far superior with yourself than Cleveland is or will be with you. If Lebron signed with the Bulls and the Bulls key players remained healthy, they would dominate the NBA until their contracts ran out. Seriously, 6 or 7 titles minimum if you ask me. I really think when its all said and done, Lebron will be thought of as close to Michael Jordan's equal as anyone who has ever played or maybe even better. There's nothing he can't do, and he's bigger and stronger than MJ. Of course, he will have to shine in the Finals first.
