agree or disagree? 

Danny looks like could of had Mozgov last season or this season. But needed to give up a extra pick to get him. 

Underrated, good center. Monster size, wide shoulder decent mobility and athleticism

I would take Mozgov over Bogut all day.
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

So what if Mozgov is better than Bogut or the other way around.  Neither is all that good and Bogut is getting $12M.

Mozgov is has much better touch and athleticism than Bogut at this point in his career.

I'd still rather have Bogut, all things being equal.  Great rebounder and superb defender, not to mention a really good passer.

When Bogut is your 7th option to score life is good.

Bogut also has a jedi mind trick over the refs where they never call him for anything.  He's literally doing something illegal at all times.  I love him but it's crazy what he gets away with

In this series, yes, Mozgov has been better. Bogut has been a nonfactor on offense, and made several bad fouls in Game 2.

also - which also factors into my decision - Bogut is made of glass - with the exception of this year. I will take Mozgov any day due to durability.

Our old friend krook was right, Timo is a very good player. I think Bogut was better than Mozgov at his peak, but Bogut never had the opportunity play in the situation that Mozgov plays right now. I like `em both. Right now, in this reality Mozgov > Bogut.

Mozgov is having a better series than Bogut, but I disagree.

Bogut is a better shot blocker and a slightly better rim protector. Bogut can command and anchor a defense better than Mozgoc, as evident with the Warriors and his Milwaukee days. Also, Bogut can score, have we forgotten that he has averaged a double double in Milwaukee when he was a legitimate scoring option, while leading that team to a top 10 defense in the league? He's miles ahead more skilled than Mozgov, with better vision and better ball handling (not that he dribbles the ball a lot),.he's a better post player too (not that he posts a ton anymore, but when you give Bogut the ball down low, he's got a variety of moves and can use either hand).

Mozgov hasn't been good until he got to team with LeBron, who makes everybody good.

This just isn't accurate.  Aside from his shooting percentage, his rates are all basically the same or lower in Cleveland.

I think Mozgov is a roll specialist so of course yeah he is going to play well with LeBron.  He also plays well with Kyrie and anyone else who can run a pick and roll.

He is a good rebounder and pretty good defender too.  Clogging the lane well for Cleveland right now.

I would definitely take him over Bogut, especially at this point.  I like Bogut but he is helpless on offense at this point.

Bogut could help either team with his scoring ability. Now he doesn´t get the chance to score with the Warriors and he would have the exact same stats as Mozgov with the Cavs if he played for them.
