Robert Williams III is reportedly a potential trade candidate, with teams viewing him as a valuable asset if he can stay healthy.
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III is emerging as a potential trade candidate, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
"'The Time Lord,' one of the great nicknames in the whole NBA, Robert Williams. Coming back off injury, obviously, he's a guy who's had repeated injury problems, but he makes $13 million. They may be willing to part with him, and he could go to a contender and be a significant piece if he is healthy," Windhorst shared on The Hoop Collective podcast.
In January, the Houston Rockets reportedly showed interest in Williams.
The 26-year-old suffered a season-ending knee injury last November, damaging his kneecap and ligaments. However, he is expected to fully recover for the upcoming season.
Before the injury, Williams played in six games, averaging 6.8 points and 6.3 rebounds. He arrived in Portland during last September as part of the Jrue Holiday trade with the Boston Celtics.
