Celtics in talks to sign Clint Capela

The Houston Rockets are open to trading Clint Capela this summer

Following another playoff exit to the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets are hoping to make major roster changes this summer. Clint Capela is among the players that the Rockets are keen to offload, and Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders is reporting that the Celtics want to sign the 25-year-old:

The Celtics from what I have heard engaged pretty seriously on Clint Capella... have had some level of talks with Terry Rozier on a new deal. Everything is very fluid at this stage in the draft/trade process. It's finding out what you can do.

During the 18-19 regular season, Capela averaged 16.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. However, the center struggled during the postseason, averaging just 9.7 points over 11 appearances. He has four years remaining on the five-year, $90 million contract he signed during the 2018 offseason.
