Proposed trade: Robert Williams III for.... (For next year)

As I have been saying for a while now, since Robert Williams III was expendable by Boston and sent to Portland, the Pels should do what's necessary to trade for him and avoid the mistake of trading foolishly for Jarrett Allen...
Trade Larry, Naji and Dyson (or 1st rounder) for Robert Williams III. Can do all of what Jarret Allen does and maybe more without the exorbitant price tag. Averages 7pts and 7rbs with off the bench for the Blazers but he was a Defensive POY candidate just a year ago and made 2nd team All-NBA Defensive Team. He has a very team friendly deal that he signed in 2021 on a 4yr./51mil. deal, but 6 mil is based on incentives. I feel Boston will realize in the playoffs they made a mistake basically trading Williams for Porzingas in the lineup.
Hence, we keep JV for the crucial offense he provides in the halfcourt and RWIII for the interior defense that was obviously needed to guard JJJr last night. Williams would NOT have let JJJr score so easily and in the last game, I don't see Ja driving to the middle of the paint with RWIII and if he did that shot gets blocked.
Now, this is obviously for NEXT YEAR, but I feel that REALLY will be the make or break year...

His knees are fricked up
He's been out since early November and is out for the season
He could barely make it through their playoff runs without missing time because of his knees. Last postseason he actually did stay on the court but his play tailed off at the end.

Then we could trade a 1st to bring in a guy like Larry Nance.

He pretty much averages asany games as Zion plays a season.

I mentioned him earlier when healthy as the perfect backup.
Too bad he us hurt.

What about a big swing? The Hawks are reportedly looking to shake things up.
Would you do Ingram/Val/Kira for Capella/Murray/Bey? (passes muster on trade machine).
Hawks get a skilled wing scorer to help Trey + a traditional big who is expiring.
Pels get rim protecting center who can guard + a ball handler with some size who can get his own shot. Also get a back up wing who can shoot and come off the bench for Trey.
Could also easily adjust trade to take out Murray and put in Hunter if you prefer a long wing defender who can shoot some, but it seems like we've got a few of those already and I like the idea of adding a scoring ball handler like Murray.
Pels roll out with Murray/McCollum/Murphy/Zion/Capella. Much better shooting around Z and an athletic rim-protector and rebounder in Capella. Bey helps the bench.
