One of the Blazers veterans has been listed as a realistic trade piece for the Lakers.
The Portland Trail Blazers entered the new NBA season looking to be more competitive than they have in the past few years. They finished last season with a record of 21-61 and it saw them end the year in last place within the Western Conference standings.
So far this year, they hold a record of 5-8 and have looked much better at times. The team has been happy with their growth so far and they can still improve ahead of the trade deadline. There will be multiple teams vying for Williams III if Portland wants to sell but one in particular may be aggressive in landing him. That would be the Los Angeles Lakers, who desperately need help in the frontcourt.
Williams III could provide the Lakers with a spark off the bench, giving them rebounding and energy. He has shown promise in his first three games this season, averaging 12.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.
