First of all, Bogut sucks? Really? Come on. Sometimes we make it hard to have meaningful conversations.
Bogut has been very solid this year. I know most are frustrated at his health and even his mouthing off at times, but the only thing about Bogut that has sucked is his health and people thinking he would develop a magical offensive game.
Second, I would love to have Robin Lopez on this team. But he can't play with Dirk at all. Ever. It would be intriguing to see him teamed with Barnes and maybe Ibaka, post Dirk. Putting him with a defensive minded 4 would be no different than covering up Dirk's deficiencies on the defensive end all these years. All that said, Brook Lopez is not my first option though. ( or second, or third) Now I would go out on a limb and say a backcourt of Barnes, Lopez, Bogut could really be something nice to watch, with some infusion of a high-low offense with Bogut up top.
If 3 pts, 8 rbs, and 1 blk over 22 minutes a game for a starting center doesn't qualify as sucking to you, then I don't know what does. Granted I know he hasn't been healthy much this year, but I always (even before we got him) thought he was grossly overrated simply due to the fact that he was on Golden State. He has value though because he's a big body and a decent passer, so if we are able to flip him for anything worth value then I'm ecstatic.
does he do anything significantly better than Mejri? All I'm saying is the team seems much more functional with Salah or Dirk starting at C than Bogut. Idk... I'd be just fine letting him expire and leave, but if an actual contender wants to offer us something for him, we would be insane to turn it down.. im only really going to be upset if we re-sign him past this season
