When you pot a tree it is a good idea to use a small stick,chopstick,finger or something to work the soil into the roots and water it in well. Those air pockets are what we call ...air pockets and yes they can kill trees if left like that. You need to wire it in the pot and get soil in and around the roots ASAP!!! Then keep an eye on it and don't trim wire and work on the thing until next year, if it pulls through some time it will take to restore vigor. What kind of juniper is this by the way?, some are tuffer' than others.
