Bogut revealed he had been campaigning for the NBA to play a match at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium.
"I've touched on the topic with people that are higher up in the NBA about trying to get a game out here," Bogut said.
"At Etihad, we could open the roof, probably fit 30,000 good viewing seats, and I think it'd be a great spectacle."
However, he said the popularity of the NBA in Australia counted against it.
"They look at it as 'why should we invest when we're already making money from them?'
"Money talks, unfortunately, and China is much more appealing for them for a commercial standpoint.
"We've got to keep putting more pressure on them."
