Report: Celtics interested in Clint Capela trade

Clint Capela Rockets

As a Clint Capela trade appears to grow more likely, a new suitor has reportedly emerged.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Boston Celtics are engaged in trade talks with the Houston Rockets centering around Capela.

The Atlanta Hawks have also been named as a possible suitor for Capela. The Rockets are looking to trade the center in order to pick up assets to pursue a wing player with, with Robert Covington and Andre Iguodala named as potential options.

Despite their 31-18 record, the Rockets are trying to adjust on the fly while keeping costs down. Capela signed a five year, $90 million deal with Houston in 2018. Boston could use the frontcourt depth, and they’ve lacked a high-quality big man since Al Horford’s departure in free agency. A Capela deal would certainly make sense for them if the price was right.
