Evan Sidery of Forbes recently reported that Houston "conducted exploratory trade talks" with the Portland Trail Blazers regarding center Robert Williams III. Williams, who is averaging 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in a decreased role this season, is on the trade block as the Trail Blazers look to rebuild with a 15-28 record.

Even though the Cavs trailed for most of the game, they went back to their defensive roots early in the fourth quarter, stifling the Rockets, taking their first lead since early in the second quarter and having a chance to pull off the comeback.

Williams is only 27 years old and while he is injury prone, he would be a significant upgrade for the Rockets frontcourt. He has been limited this season, averaging 5.9 points per game, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assist, and 1.6 blocks while shooting 69.8 percent from the field and 16.7 minutes of action.
