Woj: Williams III Back by Xmas

[Ed Monix]

"His agent Kevin Bradbury told me tonight he expects Robert Williams will be back by Christmas," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said Wednesday on NBA Countdown. "That gives him another month here. He's progressing well on his rehab. This is a player who had two surgeries in the last calendar year. [The Celtics] certainly want to take their time."

A. Sherrod Blakely was hinting at the same thing the other day.  Christmas would put him at 12 weeks from the original time period.

In that interview, Woj also hinted the Celtics are currently looking for a big man, before the February trade deadline.

I’m assuming we will be rightfully cautious to begin with, but even 10-15mpg from Rob instead of Kornet is a big +

[Goldstar88]

Thank god. I’ve missed watching the Timelord.

that would be terrific if he comes back by then and is fully healthy to play

Maybe the Celtics doing well right now allowed them to be extra careful with Rob.

Yes, Yes, Yes. Hope he is correct.

The Celts seriously looking for another center is as good news as Williams returning.
Even with Rob healthy, we need size and muscle to win titles ....... and a nasty demeanor to go with it would help this team.

I wonder who’s on the block? Maybe just a serviceable big for PP and parts? I can’t imagine Brad breaking up the smart-white-brogdon rotation.

Prob John Collins...the output would prob be White/GWill, PP, scrubs and picks

a couple of seconds to take an unneeded big off another team into a TPE most likely

[SparzWizard]

Just bring him back by mid-January...let him finish rehabbing and get into form.

I don’t care about playoff positioning. Manage Williams’ time well and we head back to the finals. I want a fresh, healthy team more than a trade.

Oh right…we still have a TPE. Who would be possible targets? 6.9M and 5.9M are the remaing TPEs if i’m not mistaken. FWIW, PJ Washington is making 5.8M. That may be a dream trade scenario.

Please handle with care. As long as we can get a decent seed, all I care is that he is good to go for the playoffs. Kid could be special if he doesn't keep getting hurt, love his game.
