Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly open to trading centre
Robert Williams before the end of the transfer window.
The ongoing transfer window in the NBA is coming to a close in
about two weeks and teams are pushing to finalise some deals in order to
strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.
As per transfer insider Chris Haynes, Blazers are ‘very open’
to trader Williams in the ongoing transfer window.
“The Blazers will be very open. That’s not up for debate. If
they get the right deal in place, they will be open. ... Robert Williams is
somebody that is definitely available,” said Haynes. There are some teams that
are pondering making a move for Robert Williams.
“Now, I know Robert Williams is out for the season ... but
teams feel like he would be somebody that could get on the cheap right now and
allow him to continue recovering, continue rehabbing in hopes that he can
blossom back into the Robert Williams that we’ve seen when he was playing at a
high level with the Boston Celtics.
Williams is not having
a great season on the court where he is averaging 6.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and
0.8 assists per game.
