In an effort to shore up their middle, the Sacramento Kings have looked in the direction of the Portland Trail Blazers, according to ClutchPoint’s Brett Siegel. He reports that the Kings have inquired into the availability of Robert Williams III, Portland’s backup center.
In the Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings are another team that has registered interest in Williams, sources said. The 6’9″ center would provide immediate rebounding and defensive depth in the frontcourt behind Domantas Sabonis. Sacramento ranked 14th in defensive rating and 13th in opponents’ points in the paint during the 2023-24 season, two areas that Williams would immediately provide a boost in.
