Following another playoff defeat to the Golden State Warriors, the Houston Rockets are open to making major roster changes this summer. Among the players that could make way is Clint Capela, and Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders believes that the 25-year-old will head to either the Boston Celtics or the Brooklyn Nets:

No sense of that being considered, I think Capela ends up in either Boston or Brooklyn, depending on how the draft/free agency plays out.

Capela was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 25th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft and he signed a new five-year, $90 million extension last summer. He has been a regular starter during his five seasons with the team, and this season averaged 16.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game.
