Brooklyn's insane request in Kevin Durant/Boston Celtics rumors; NBA retires Bill Russell's number

Brooklyn's apparent first request from Boston in a discussion for Kevin Durant was an absolutely ridiculous ask that shows maybe the Nets aren't quite serious about trading their star. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm of Boston.com discuss that, whether the C's can eventually get away with trading for Durant without giving up Jaylen Brown, and more. First, they discuss Bill Russell's league-wide number retirement, and John floats an idea of what more the NBA can do to TRULY honor his legacy.
