The Boston Celtics’ center and forward Robert Williams III is on the radar of the San Antonio Spurs, who are trying to rebuild their roster. Actually, the Spurs got the jackpot in this year’s NBA draft. They have managed to land Victor Wembanyama.
The next step after signing a star is to sign players who will take them to the title. Victor is not an ordinary player. He is considered the heir to LeBron James by many. The Spurs are set to make some changes and find athletes to put beside Victor. They can pair him with the Celtics’ Williams. Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs involving Robert Williams III.
What would the Spurs offer for Robert Williams III?
The Spurs are expected to offer Doug McDermott and a 2025 first-round pick in exchange for Robert Williams III and Payton Pritchard. Victor does not guarantee a title to the Spurs, and teams generally do not rely on them for the same. The Celtics have Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who are doing well enough for them. The duo took them to finals two years ago. But even though the Celtics made it to the Eastern Conference finals, their performance declined. Do they need to make changes as well?

Why would the Celtics send Robert Williams III away?
Williams is injury prone, and he has disappointed the Celtics enough to trade him off. But anyways, he is the best player involved in the trade, and his departure is going to raise some questions. But the Celtics have other major concerns about the salary, too, since they handed Jaylen Brown the most expensive extension. They need to prefer salary cap flexibility since a few players are due for an extension next season.
Best trade for Nets might be Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Horford and 3 1st rders. Thinks Nets would want Robert Williams instead of Horford tho. Don’t see Suns doing any deal that doesn’t include Booker in return.

Why would the Spurs like to sign Robert Williams III?
The Spurs are getting Pritchard along with Williams, which looks like a good deal. Pritchard’s shooting is going to help the Spurs, even though they have players of a similar kind already. Williams might be a dicey pick, but it is a risk worth taking.
Will Victor take the Spurs to the title? Who will the Spurs pair him with? Robert’s injuries might be the answer to every question. We’ll keep you updated.
