The Celtics get Johnson, who’s shooting 43% from three, which the C’s love to do. Also, they drop Holiday’s huge contract, and get a power forward, which shifts stars like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White back to their original positions.

The Celtics should still be among the favorites to win it all. But will this potential weakness come to haunt them?

The Boston Celtics have been on a slippery slope recently, winning one game then losing the next. If they want to be repeat champions, they need to shake something up. A proposed trade by Boston Celtics on SI's Gabe Smallson would have the C's acquire Toronto Raptors wing Bruce Brown.
