The Portland Trail Blazers may be very busy next week before the trade deadline and they could part ways with a few of their bigger stars.
One of them may be Robert Williams, the 27-year-old big man who has generated a lot of interest on the market.
In fact, Evan Sidery is reporting that several title-contending teams in the Western Conference are intrigued by the idea of acquiring Williams.
Those teams are the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, and Houston Rockets.
They have all expressed interest in Williams, but which one will get him, and how will he work out with a new team?

Williams is averaging 5.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
It’s important to note that he has only played in 17 games this season, as injuries have once again been a problem for the big man.
Injuries have plagued him for years now, and he has never participated in more than 61 games in a season.
That means teams might be nervous about the idea of putting a lot of money and faith into Williams.
But he could be a very reliable backup big man for any of the teams mentioned.
The Lakers, Nuggets, and Rockets all consider themselves title contenders, which means they will take any potential trade very seriously.
The Blazers will as well, especially since they could be shipping off multiple stars next week.
There will be some tough bargaining on all sides and Williams could generate a lot of buzz and a big return for Portland.
He will likely be leaving the Blazers soon, and hopefully his next chapter will be a productive and healthy one.
