Robert Williams could turn Blazers’ Yang Hansen dilemma into a crisis

Robert Williams III is considered the most likely Portland Trail Blazers player to be traded by the Feb. 5 deadline. But where would that leave their frontcourt?

Donovan Clingan has already excelled in his starting role. He's even proving capable of taking on increased minutes due to his improved conditioning level, which was a point of emphasis over the offseason. But besides Clingan, the Blazers, with four centers on their roster, somehow still lack reliable options in the frontcourt.

Williams has been playing much better this season, largely thanks to his health. In fact, that's what makes him a trade candidate.
