The Bulls have been identified as one of the teams that has interest in Portland's Rudy Fernandez.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the Bulls have been shopping James Johnson, including to the Blazers, but have found no takers.

The Blazers would need more from the Bulls if a Fernandez-Johnson swap is to be made.

I know we have alot of SF's but this guy is NASTY. I would LOVE to get that guy.

This guy is better than Chandler skill wise and his handle is SICK.

He would be a better option at SG compared to Walker or Chandler. The guy handles the ball like a guard.

I want to develop The Mayor or SkyWalker first unless the player coming in is an outright stud.

James Johnson is already better than both of them and is on a rookie deal for the next 3 seasons.

TMS, I picked those dunks to compare to Chandler. James Johnson is the same age as Chandler with a superior skill set and almost as much athleticism. I didnt realize James Johnson could handle the ball that well until I saw him in Summer league. The guy isn't a physical specimen but is still very athletic and agile. You combine that with his skills and touch around the rim and you have a very good player.

Johnson may end up as something, but he has proven absolutely nothing, so far.


The dunk "over" Lee was nothing special- it was as if Lee wasn't there.

Lee was a wimp- too afraid to take the charge, so he moved right to try to "block" the shot. That was more embarrassing that Frederic Weis and Vince Carter- Weis only ducked a bit, he didn't move aside obligingly.

Well I think they want a SG. Deng+Boozer+Gibson+Korver probably means limited minutes I guess. I dont see them giving him away.

I posted it to show his athleticism. He took off from pretty far. The dunk wasnt spectacular but the guy is pushing 250 lbs. His game has that Paul Pierce feel to it.

Fluid athletes like him just give me tingles.

And Deng has an almost impossible contract to move.

i think he's got talent but right now there's no way you can say he's a better player than Wilson IMHO.

James Johnson was a crunch time player in the games I watched him in college. He made
smart decisions as well as having some skill. Pierce's game is similar.

Hes a guy who might one dya be good--but on the other hand still needs significant development time and teams who want to win now don't have the roster spot for that. You might want to check in with D Kahn
