The Los Angeles Lakers have contacted the Portland Trail Blazers to check on the availability of Robert Williams III, reports Clutch Points’ Anthony Irwin.
According to Irwin, Williams is one of at least three centers the Lakers have enquired about to fill the void left by Anthony Davis who was moved in the Luka Doncic four months ago.
Sources close to the team reiterated that the internal plan is to trade for their starting center – sources say they’ve held conversations with other teams about Nic Claxton, Robert Williams, Walker Kessler and others – then, ideally, use the taxpayer midlevel on his backup – Brook Lopez and Clint Capela are the two names most often linked to the Lakers.
