The chances of the Portland Trail Blazers bouncing back from their 13-25 record and becoming playoff contenders this year are slim.
That means they will probably make some moves before the upcoming NBA trade deadline, but which players will they send away?
According to Evan Sidery, the Blazers are receiving “strong trade interest” on two centers: Robert Williams and Duop Reath.
Sidery noted that Williams will cost more for an opposing team because he has a $12.4 million salary, while Reath is worth only $2 million annually.

Sidery also added that the Blazers will be “a primary seller” in the weeks ahead.
They aren’t in good shape now, they know it, and they are willing to do business with multiple teams in order to improve their future.
Williams has been on the radar of multiple teams.
The 27-year-old big man is averaging 6.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, although injuries have gotten in his way again and he has only played in 12 games in 2024-25.
Will his history of injuries hurt his chances of being traded to another team?
As for Reath, he is averaging 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds this season, but he is playing for an average of just 6.5 minutes per game.
Sidery didn’t give insight into which teams are asking about Williams and Reath but we should expect them to be traded.
Both of these players will likely be on the move soon, but they may not be alone.
The Blazers could be creating packages for multiple players as they try to lay the groundwork for a better future.
The team could be looking radically different in the next few weeks.
