Contenders Calling the Blazers About Robert Williams III

Per a report from NBA Insider Evan Sidery, Robert Williams III is an increasingly tantalizing trade target for a number of NBA ballclubs. Sidery’s claims come via his post on X (formerly Twitter) that the “Bucks, Lakers, Suns, and Rockets are among the contending teams who have recently checked in on Williams.”

As we inch closer to the February 6 trade deadline, we should expect trade chatter to heat up. Williams’ market value appears to be headed north as teams vying for a long post-season run seek to bolster their already potent rosters.

The Blazers acquired center Robert Williams III in a 2023 trade with the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jrue Holiday.
