When the NBA announced their plan to resume action later this July with 22 qualifying teams in Orlandos Disney World, it was no surprise when we found out the Boston Celtics had made the cut.

Prior to the COVID-19 induced hiatus on March 11th, the Cs managed to muster up a record of 43-21, ranking them third in the Eastern Conference standings, fifth in the entire NBA and, with their victory over the Indiana Pacers on March 10th, were on their way to their sixth consecutive postseason appearance.

Now, as the countdown begins for when the league will resume action assuming it still will despite contradicting reports , its understood that players and team personnel are gearing up for what many project to be a deep playoff run, what with their fifth-ranked placement within NBA.coms most recent power-ranking.

Currently rostering one of the best core groups in these bubble games, the Celtics look to be a matchup nightmare for virtually any team they could face in the early rounds of the playoffs. With guys like Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, and Marcus Smart, its easy to see why.

However, thats not to say the rest of their roster is as sound as it is at the top.

From their lackluster scoring punch off the pine to their underwhelming center rotation, there are quite a few holes within the rotation that could use some patching up.

Now, due to the newly reported transaction window that will allow teams to add players via free agency, G-League call-ups, or conversations of two-way/ 10-day contracts, theres a chance the Boston Celtics could look to add some extra talent for a presumed deep playoff push.

However, with additions, there are bound to be subtractions.

Read on to see who on the active roster may be at risk of being replaced in the lineup via the upcoming transaction window:
