Updated · 2026–27 season
Robert Williams III is on the books for $14,000,000 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Portland Trail Blazers roster and 7.3% of the team's $191.8M payroll.
That ranks 135th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 8.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $14,000,000 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $14,000,000 in the first year up to $15,000,000 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.
Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed, 2028-29 non-guaranteed.
The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.
At 28, this contract runs through his age-30 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.
He is the 5th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 14 players on the Portland Trail Blazers' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $191,825,441.
Portland Trail Blazers sit at $191.8M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$16.9M of room below the first apron.
