Blazers Lock Down Williams for 3 Years | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland’s big move: Robert Williams III signs a 3-year, $44M extension to stay through 2028-29, cementing his role as a dominant rim protector despite injury history. After playing 59 games and suiting up for all 5 playoff contests last season, Williams averaged nearly 7 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while shooting over 70% from the field. His career FG% is a staggering 72%, and he brings playoff pedigree from his 5 years in Boston, including 6 starts in the 2022 Finals. With Portland also bringing in new coach Micah Nori and rumored trade talks involving Jerami Grant and Kris Murray for Ja Morant, the Blazers are clearly rebuilding with a bold, aggressive vision.
