Boston Celtics player No. 1) Robert Williams

Not all those mentioned on this list are players we at the site hope to see traded — in fact, none of them are.

However, despite this being the case, it’s hard to argue that of all those on the roster, Robert Williams would easily be viewed as one of the two most tradable talents on the team not named Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown.

After inking a four-year, $54 million extension with the franchise this past summer, it was more evident than ever that the Boston Celtics were committing to Time Lord full-time to have serve as their staple at the five.

With a larger role, expectations were that the big man would find himself having a career-year for himself both from a statistical and production status.

To this point, expectations have certainly been met.

Logging 30 minutes per game, Williams is boasting impressive per-game averages of 9.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks on a whopping 74 percent shooting from the field.

Of those who have logged 400+ minutes on the season, he ranks first on the team in offensive rating (140), second in defensive rating (103), and second in box plus-minus rating (2.6).

Just 24-years-old, Robert Williams still has plenty of room to grow despite already displaying such impressive production, which could easily entice any number of teams, be it ones in a rebuilding phase looking for a young building block or a playoff hopeful/ contender in need of some extra firepower down low in the frontcourt, to try and make a move.
