We're less than a month away from the start of the 2025-26 regular season, yet the Portland Trail Blazers already have a clear trade candidate in Robert Williams III.
After the consecutive first-round selections of Donovan Clingan and Yang Hansen, Williams should officially be considered expendable for the Blazers. Add in the fact that he's on an expiring deal, and it makes sense for Portland to move the Texas A&M product by February's trade deadline, at the latest.

Williams was also considered a trade candidate last season, with talks surrounding Portland potentially receiving multiple second-round picks for their big man.
