Woj: Rockets and Celtics engaged in talks for Clint Capela

Boston has 3 1's (projected 17,26 and 30) in June. Would need to send out $10M of salary in a Clint Capela deal. https://t.co/RioxJI5RDH

Windhorst discussed Capela to Boston on the Lowe Post:

"You'd be talking about Daniel Theis being in the deal, probably. Poirier being in the deal, Romeo Langford maybe being in the deal and one of their first round picks."

Houston is reportedly after a wing and/or draft picks to secure a wing player from a 3rd team. I gotta think the Celtics want to keep Theis and replace him with Enes Kanter. They have plenty of 1st rounders to sweeten the pot.

Here’s one interesting scenario gaining traction on Twitter:

Plus the MIL 1st to Minny. An overspend but there's enough small pieces for this to happen. pic.twitter.com/ZLk0y33xPh

As for Capela, he’s currently dealing with a (relatively serious) heel injury which might be plantar fasciitis:

From the looks of it, it doesn’t sound like this is a day-to-day situation for Capela, either. There’s a growing sense internally he could be out for a while, at least until after the All-Star break. Capela is said to be in pain daily, struggling to run early Friday morning before the Mavericks’ game. A collective coaching decision was made that day to rest him until he fully recovers.

I’m intrigued. Stay tuned.
