Since his good performances in the 2022 Finals against the Warriors, while he was physically weakened, Robert Williams III struggling to get back to his best level. Last season, he only played 35 matches and this year, for his debut in Portland, the pivot only played six matches…
Hit in the right knee and operated on, he will not return until next season. With the Blazers or elsewhere? The question arises because according to Chris Haynes, he could be exchanged. Already because Portland is open to a departure. Then because, as he is injured, interested teams think they can lower his price.
Among the franchises keeping an eye on the 2022 finalist, we find the Rockets, according to our colleague. This is not surprising since the coach on the Texan bench is none other than Ime Udoka, the one who managed Robert Williams III in Boston in 2021/22.
With his defensive qualities, he can become an interesting option to blow Alperen Sengun away. And not necessarily too expensive with a $25.7 million contract over the next two seasons, until 2026.
