Could former Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams III end up on the New York Knicks?

Apr 7, 2021; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; New York Knicks center Taj Gibson (67) tries to pass the ball past Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0), forward Grant Williams (12) and center Robert Williams III (44) during the third quarter at TD Garden.

Could former Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams III end up on the New York Knicks? The Celtics dealt away Timelord to the Portland Trail Blazers last offseason to make the trades that transformed the Celtics roster into a true title contender. Now, we are hearing rumbles that he might be on the move to a team like the Knicks in need of some big man depth to bolster their designs on challenging Boston in the league’s Eastern Conference playoffs this season.

How would we feel about facing Boo Butt (as he is known for a nickname) in Madison Square Garden with the Knicks next season? On one hand, it would be great to see him healthy and on the court again, but on the other — with NEW YORK of all teams?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis explored the thought experiment for us on a recent episode of their show. Check it out yourself to hear what they had to say about such a prospect for Boston fans.
