In order to trade for Capela, the Celtics would have to match $14.9M in salary. That means Boston would have to send out approximately $10 million in salary. That makes it a tough match for the Celtics without trading at least one or two key rotation players like Daniel Theis ($5M) or Enes Kanter ($4.
