This is dry when Josh Graham drive support just said you should never take your children shopping general managers probably shouldn't listen to fans about personnel decision because, as the NFL trade deadline approaches. There are two things I see Panther fans fixated on focused on changing whose throwing the passes and whose catching them in both instances the Carolina Panthers are better off staying fat when you examine for things around doing nothing at all. I'm not apparent at all, but I certainly babysat and have gone grocery shopping as a favor for friends and days you probably can attest to this as well that if you take the kids into the grocery store they know exactly what they're doing, where they put the camera, the candy I level where the kids are running around in the sugary cereal and all of a sudden you thought about maybe getting seven or eight items it turns into a dozen maybe even 20 items because kids they just see things and then they want them and Panther fans. It's kind of the same way Mohammed's news available, let's go after him a degree we get a manual standard Sanders is in an option anymore because he is 49er and so new was traded to the New England Patriots so that's left Ajay green and that's a pretty steep price that's the expensive serial what is the most expensive serial that is life. Oh yeah, I guess price is the grainy stuff raisin bran type stuff. I guess right I haven't cereal and five or six years I used to always go frosted flakes or fruity pebbles generally my course on frosted flakes honeycomb, got right so I see all this talk Carolina trade cam Newton. While Kyle Allen's playing well, don't put them back out there because you could potentially hurt his trade value that's ridiculous on so many different fronts. Marty Kearney is not going to trade away cam breaking news to all of you right now, but the second piece of this is something we haven't addressed is often the need for a wide receiver and Panther fans. My all Carolina doesn't have a true number one DJ Moore has a development developed into that yeah and Curtis Samuels in year three.

He isn't that either you could really use a weapon light green in this off. That doesn't help much.

The Panthers told me to go trading for wide receiver, there are enough balls to go around.

I think to satisfy a number one light green. It's not Jost Moore and Samuel were talking about Greg Olson demands several touches of the ball during the game, then you have Krista McCaffrey who always seems to get forgotten in these conversations. It's amazing to be considered an MVP candidate running back, but the get forgotten about as a wide receiver. If you have the RB. Next, yet you never really considered a receiver but when you consider how many targets the guy gets game to game. He needs to be factored into this conversation Jerry is right as well. The only reason he isn't getting more balls is because of the guys I just mentioned so I don't think you need to work somebody and also I'm not sure if the Panthers would be better with an air quote number one wideout when you look at cam's best seasons it came with the Panthers spreading the ball out to five at least five receivers with 30 catches or more cans worst years as we had three and 430+ reception wide receiver is best your courses 2015 member would happen right before that year Benjamin got hurt.

I'm not saying Kelvin would make the Panthers offense less electric or he would've met.

He he's the reason why the Panthers were successful. His lack of being there, but it was kind of a blessing in disguise because cam didn't have to force the ball to anybody.

His number one wide receiver. In a sense, was Devon Pontius who was a rookie that year in Jericho.

Contrary after that it was a veteran. He had no pressure to go to one guy and force the ball to someone whose demanding receptions game to game, so he was able to spread it out so I think Caroline is better off where they're at right now when it comes to wide receiver also if you're looking anywhere to add.

It sounds unsexy. This isn't, this would be the equivalent of life cereal if that's what you're trying to get at the supermarket to go defensive lineman because one of the weaknesses of this team and nobody's talking about it because defense is turning people over doing so at one of the best rates in the league when they come to get a pass rush last year going into the bye week. They led the NFL in sacks. Everybody's forgetting about the fact the Panthers are 23rd against the run every thing is great because the sexy defensive totals, turnovers and sacks.

They're doing writing so they just automatically assume that everything else is awesome when it isn't in the reason why the 23rd against the run is because God clogs a lot of that space is a pro bowler has done so for years. Isn't there anymore. Take a short put on IR so the run defense has been struggling to case on IR bought I'm not even convinced they need to fill that void because of the off-season moves early made a few months ago, bringing in Gerald McCoy. Obviously the pass rush is a been great Brian Burns to be a candidate for NFL defensive rookie of the year is signed, preserved, and which seem to be a nice move as well shed some of the older contracts. There Vernon Butler. He's been great since KK went down, particularly against Tampa Bay back to back possessions you strip sacks and they recover the second one. So maybe you continue to play that out see what's happening with Butler. Give him one last chance. If I had to guess Caroline is not to do anything at the deadline and I don't think it's the worst thing because I also would've said baby you go clear. Maybe you need to add their with James Bradberry there being questions they're going to the season. He's address those by the way, let's just note James Bradberry a guy that you might need to consider paying.

That's me in his mind. Yes, and you might even say with Dr. Jackson going down.

You might need at a corner, but Dr. Jackson full participant in practice today.

Trey Turner the same way. It's an excellent sign for Carolina going into the San Francisco game on Sunday. Also, Ron Rivera love the way that Ross Cockrell performed in Jackson's voice I don't even know if you need to do anything with JP D.

Jack's and Cockrell all capable playing very well and it points playing well this year.

I don't think he does anything at all because he doesn't have to in a little over 25 minutes were to be joined by one of the leading voices on the MBA Kevin Harlan.

He was on the call last night for Lakers Clippers earlier this week he was on sports on triad is the voice of Monday Night Football as well so it's been a busy week for him and we look forward to chatting with him on the day the Hornets season tips off will get the Charlotte Hornets basketball and a little over five minutes. But what a site that was in Staples Center last night. We've never seen anything like this season that were watching of LA basketball every aspect of this is cut compelling the big obvious stuff. Of course having to legit title contenders playing in the same building, arguably the two best teams in the sport sharing to building where 82 games in the same city are going to feature at least one title contending team.

We've never been able to say that in the history of the MBA but the deep cut variables to our even more fascinating when you consider that Los Angeles is overwhelmingly and understandably a Lakers town and we learned that so purely last night as the Clippers. I think they lacked awareness and putting Kawai Leonard on the microphone right before the Lakers are set the pace. The clipper syndicate message to the fans on the scoreboard and not understanding how that would be received.

He got drowned out and boots take a listen her walk. I love hearing Kawai just talk.

He sounds like a robot you know he's a fun guy after all that was like so you fool digital awkward like watching it almost felt like it was his idea but he was forced to do it. It was it was really weird.

That's everything we Kawai don't really know anything about him. If it's all premeditated.

Again, he's the fungi that's the best way we know how to say it but it's not a felt like Kawai had the whole overnight planned out you CME like you commercials on deck.

They're coming out yet. The new new balance shoes on. Yesterday, the Terminator determined that yeah it was Schwarzenegger's crazy that Terminator be. It was great. Not really glad I'm glad it happened but it was awful. It was fantastic and Kawai was terrific and the Clippers get the win.

It seems like everybody at this point in the year is good to be sloppy seasons are starting earlier than they ever had before because you want to limit the amount of rest states during the season but with less Time and shorter offseasons.

I imagine that things are going to look sloppy from the jump.

The Lakers and the Clippers both checked that box, but while the good news, maybe for the Lakers is that you look like you're an unfinished product and there's a lot to build on moving forward with Anthony Davis looking every bit the part of the superstar.

It's obvious that the Clippers are a finished product either because the guy who's wearing a little tuxedo on the bench, Paul, George, is it playing in their still winning basketball games and it was evident as great as Davis is, he wasn't the best player on the floor. Kawai Leonard, the best player in the NBA right now so we'll talk to Kevin Harlan about that and just a bit drive broadcast live.

The law offices of Timothy D. Wellborn studios learn about all the waste and what work can help you online it to mobile.com will know when you need us coming up here Panthers and why will see an NBA team tonight with $71 million sitting on their bench. This is the drive back on the air dry sports talk drive with JavaScript on sports hub triad.

We really enjoyed becoming an affiliate with Westwood One broadcasts of Thursday night football Sunday night football and Monday Night Football the voice of Monday night in the NFL. Kevin Harlan now joins us and it's been a busy week for him because he was on the call for the Jets and patriots.

A few nights ago. Of course last night as one of the leading voices of the NBA on TNT. He had the call for the game. Everybody's talking about today.

The Lakers in the Clippers. He also right here in the triad was anointed, the national sportscaster of the year by the NSA may a short while ago Kevin, it's good to have you back on give me a sense for how unique the atmosphere was last night were you have Kawai Leonard, speaking to air quote a crowd of clipper home thing is very clipper home crowd, only to be drowned out by booze with Laker fans of course in attendance.

You know I thought it was about par for the course because the Lakers wanted to widen the works word and the member go to rival Clippers popular to the Lakers that it is no doubt an wired going to a RAM game drill LA RAM game a couple weeks ago showed them on the big screen in the Coliseum root.

There and that Paul George from Shirley event week and 1/2 ago you were there at a charity event, though.

Last night, I would say there were probably of the 8000 people in the building may be two, three, 4000 Laker fans and they were loud and it was a Clippers home game so the season tickets were sold.

The people I bought for the season to Laker fans. Obviously they were able to get those kind of seats and a lot of them are the lower bowl but it really I think your car fuel would be participating. The battle for LA become the epicenter of the NBA this year with these high profile players in one city during the same building locker rooms no more than 25 yards apart and it really makes for great theater in the first and last night was entertaining and I would assume that the next three will be just as energetic. I always remind people in April when people overreact to the first weekend of the major-league baseball season, but there's nothing in sports more insignificant than one regular-season major-league baseball game. Yet it is a matter what sport you talking about football, baseball, or in this case basketball after the first game first set of games people tend to overreact and make snap judgments things are sloppy with the shorter offseasons and shorter camp in the season starting earlier than usual the past two seasons. Is there anything you thought you could take away in the short sample size of one game what you saw from the Clippers and Lakers yeah Laker search for going up to the worn-out game.

Ron and Anthony Davis Scoring punch Clippers run off the bench is significant. They were the drop scoring off the bench last year. Two historically good players was a tandem at the highest average of any two bench the last 25+ years the league Lou Williams and Montrose Cheryl. I just think along regular-season becomes gigantic and the Clippers and they don't not even full force of their impact from Paul George comes off of the end you listed about 3 to 4 weeks. Surgery on both shoulders. Nothing major, just a little cleanup, but he comes back there really going to be pulled to players Kawai George that are versatile complete different ways at both ends of the floor and I just think world of NBA load management resting your stars, having them ready for the games count teams are increasingly finding that your position when the playoffs that eight conference that regular-season becomes pretty important head-to-head matchup become pretty important so Rest manage the right way will greet you well Lakers they can't rest on or Davis the waiter, because sports scores Clippers can't rest their stars and they can still perform at a high level, so if anything was revealing from that game last night that first take away Kevin Harlan with this year NBA on TNT.

You and I were chatting about college basketball in the spring cabin and specifically about Zion Williamson as he was getting set the transition to the MBA and you called it right on the head. You said this is the type of player.

People will go out of their way to join up with in free agency and you rarely see that with players coming out of college basketball JJ Reddick joining this New Orleans pelican squad. Of course, Zion is injured with the torn meniscus. But even that is kinda a mythology when you consider that pelicans don't quite know when he tore the meniscus about a been playing on it. The way Blake Griffin did in a playoff series last year.

I don't think against physical physical enigmas in Zion.

He seems to be that I'm not that concerned with him being a teenager right now that there's larger ramifications. Then just the fact that he has a right knee injury and is getting it recovered medically surgically how much concern do you have for Zion well the garden Friday in New York. Pelicans played the next. We were told by the way by the pelican ticked off. They completely miss letters on the monster known there was something fairly significant because he went from missing that game perhaps being able to play in the opener to bring out two months with surgery on the knee and you know it does this, the media thing but you can't live you can't lie like I get that but I think there's gotta be some trust in and we were completely misled not to interrupt sheep.

She reported that she is out for that Friday night game, but there was.

He was not ruled out the Tuesday correct right yes and left them back in New Orleans and Andy did David Griffin and I don't know anyway moving on from there. It doesn't, but then we get the wrong ration fans are by and see and want to schedule their night to watch them play and so we looked at the information yet so I talked a couple scout last night here in LA and feeling you're having too much weight in the league. The way that quickness and quick twitch and speed and endurance and the physicality that we cannot get back in work and Virgil know he was injured last year as we know, and I think there's a very subtle concern around the leak that is too heavy and whether that pelicans concern of Williamson's concern. I don't know what the optics are not good and he still is so quick and imagine with 15 less pounds on all these players are going through it. LeBlanc was concerned about his weight when he was done.

Player Williamson is the people that know the game better than I do would tell you that you look and don't hurt his knee in the summer league in Las Vegas. He shut them down there. After the short stint in the summer league in Vegas so there's a lot around this kid represent a much and what players think lasting for you cabin one NFL note, one of the big stories in the NFL. The Panthers have won their last for the getting set to face the undefeated same Cisco 49ers on Sunday.

Kyle alum will get the start to cam Newton's been working on the side. I keep hearing this notion. Oh don't rock the boat don't rocket it all when things are rolling for you, but Teddy Bridgewater wins five in a row and that narrative doesn't seem to work when you're talking about your breeze. Now I'm not comparing troopers to cam Newton but it seems that there okay bringing deliveries back and despite the fact that he's been winning a time with the Panthers. It's a? Despite the fact cam I was 15 and one a few years ago, one in NFL and VPN might be the most talented player this organizations ever had. What's your view on what should happen when cam split heels of one room around so I really can't comment.

I know that it might game in Charlotte last season and his arm was shot. Surgery. I don't know what I kid is playing well is no doubt they've rallied around and clearly getting no terrific performances for McCaffrey and the there's probably little bit of thought about doing the way you're going. And waiting till 1000% healthy. I mean he's unique talent and a superstar and VP vocal back you got nothing to prove but why push him much like Bridgewater and New Orleans.

Why push breeze make sure that there is not a speck of any doubt in any medical mind when you look at these injuries and you don't rush to get these guys that if you are not getting the performance you're getting from the two backups that it's a different scenario getting quality performances your winning games That the thing on the track and that I think speaks volumes to what it's done is given a luxury the teams without the starting to really pick sure that health concern is the question of the outback. I come back and play and I think your starter like those two know have to step aside because of injury and not performance then then you date job back when they are healthy to go. This is a unique situation to change the season and I think that health is gotta be the first concern with the teams can cannot breathe a sigh of relief.

He rushed in and put into a panic mode about getting his quarterbacks back after all it's been great to have you on Monday night football right here on in the triad sports on triad and to hear your voice here with us now and on basketball games again. It's good to have the MBA back. Thank you so much for working ascent. We hope to see you sometime soon.

Kevin I hope so. I'm with you.journalized look forward to our next visit. Take care and thank you for that man you got it. That's Kevin Harlan on Twitter to get you to follow at Kevin Harlan. He's could be back at it tomorrow. MBA action Thursday night so how's that, if you think you're having a busy week. Try going from an NFL broadcast on Sunday, televised on CBS to Monday night. You can listen to the Westwood One broadcast on sports on triad. It was in New York City as I guess it was in the Meadowlands in New Jersey, the Jets getting plowed by the patriots last night all the way across to Los Angeles for Clippers Lakers and I don't know where you can to be tomorrow. But glad he can work as and for a couple minutes tonight's game to the World Series and I'm not a guy who generally re-overreacts to things. I don't think I tried to be stay away from being a victim to to the moment is game to really a must win for the Houston Astros. What I think it might be when we begin, Sharon with Darren Vaught next you're on the drive safe.

Sharon, with Darren going to show game to the World Series tonight I believe to be a must win game for the Houston Astros he got just timber Lander on the Mount is going up against Stephen Strasburg home game and most important element World Series format to home games for the favored team then three home games for the less favored games six and seven will be on the Astros home field if necessary. If you go down 02, dropping both games at home. I don't think this series comes back to Houston for a game six. So in that sense I think tonight truly is without any with hyperbole. A must win game for the Washington or for the Houston Astros. What easy I must win is me that's that's way down the line my way down the line World Series for God said yeah but on the front end of the rotation. The Houston Astros have. Maybe the two best ever to be at the top of them will World Series rotation all the reason why you have to win the night but they each get another start.

Josh maybe don't win tonight. Maybe they get another start well right assuming assuming once can at least get another start. Derek Cole will get another start.

If things go the way that you you want after going down 02 in the series. They each get another start and you've got a another pretty good guy in Zach Greinke who is going to get a start after Corbin's pretty darn good to know. I agree I agree going down 02 with three games ahead of you in Washington DC is not good.

I do not know that it is must win.

I believe it is you don't think that it bought everything last night, pointed Houston's direction as that be in the game they should have one Derek Cole. His record 19 and no in his last 25 starts dating back to May 25 you consider there up to do nothing very early in the game. The crowds behind there at home, you got you have a little bit more momentum because you're not awful week like the nationals work, which I think is an advantage to Houston because they didn't have to get on a plane anywhere. Also they had done massive favoritism from Las Vegas like they there. They are the biggest favorite and World Series since the Red Sox against the Colorado Rockies in 2005 Vegas that's fine that's fine Houston on paper in Vegas is mine. They feel like this teams the biggest favorite we've seen since 2000 · it should be prefaced as you mentioned, that's based more on where money is going, then how Vegas interviews the deficit now that we teams, that being said do I think this Houston Astros team is one of the 45 best teams in all of major league baseball over the past like 20 years Russes analysis. Probably there very very good losses on Atlas. I think last year's Red Sox have to be taken into consideration the way that when you have the top three position players all be an NDP candidate different media for saying the past 20 years. Some of the early 2000's Yankees teams.

Of course go in early 2000's Yankees players of the elements would be on that maybe I don't know your face lit up when is it early 2000 2000 were Red Sox with Doug Maribel. He is the backup catcher. I love that it's a never dying its arm use that's what it is like this is the ex-girlfriend that you knew was you just had to part ways with but every time you your seared like an we just had some that we finally got there it was so great. It was a great summer. Now Dylan really nostalgic so you probably go 2001 Yankees 2018 Red Sox. This Astros team. If you're talking bullpen and just individual parts.

The Royals in 2014 have to be in consideration. I don't know who else could even throw in the past that it's debatable. Those are probably those operatory those three stick out among the there some that did not win World Series that we could throw into the mix.

Companies, people are missing on this Washington team how it's possible that you can miss this much is it because first impressions are so lasting and super put a superstar power superstar perception effects so much where Washington starts 1931 people just say this teams not so great. They're not World Series worthy rice harbors not on this roster.

So, how good can they be.

People tend to follow baseball casually more than hard-core baseball fans do obviously but certainly more on a national basis, or less on a national basis and we did 10 or 15 years ago when you look on paper, wonder how people can think that this is an overwhelming favorite the Houston Astros you have these three starters in sugars are Strasburg and Corbin go at it. Even Annable Sanchez is 1/4.

And these two position players who emerged as the year went on with Brendon and soda. Not to forget former NC State shortstop Trey Turner. How can we be so offer Vegas be so often thinking that your sins that much.

I think we as sports fans because of ice, a singular guys impact on it on a team in other sports.

I think we owe wheat we just sort of assume that that's going to be the case in all sports. If you're more casual observer of major league baseball. You see Bryce Harper left the Washington nationals. Oh, assuming the they're not gonna be as good because he's the second highest paid guy in major league baseball history. This is a really really good team and and again I think the Astros are one of the best teams we've seen in a long long time.

But that being said, the disparity is not as great as Vegas oddsmakers have made it out to be because this front end of the rotation for the nationals with Mac.

Surgery was one of the best pictures of the last decade, Stephen Strasburg, who was touted over a decade ago as as the greatest draft prospect ever and hasn't lived up to that hype, but it was impossible-he's been really really good and Patrick Corbin is a guy that all of the six you take the top three starters for each squad. Fewer people have heard of Patrick Corbin but he's a really really good asset and you talked about the lineup. I think Trey Turner despite the idea that when Joan is an NDP candidate in Soto's is a generational talented will enjoy watching for a long long time. Trey Turner as their engine and HEB stores that drink in a lot of ways and I love him because he sets up he's a throwback. He sees a traditional five tool player. That means that there are a lot of really really good pieces to this nasty Dylan Vaught were Sharon with Darren here with us. 336-777-1600 is the phone number if you want to chime in that way you can also Tweet the show at sport subtract isn't 777-1600 Darren, I forgot to be on the show you got introduce yourself the new way that we do it. Damn Patrick has you give your height and weight and you give which branch I saw Michelle you got tell us what your go to cookout Trey hey there Darren Vaught, the first time a friend of the program. I know a big double Trey with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion to corndogs is my side will and a bottle of water like a good order.

They go so if you call in to the shelf 777-1600 that's that's the requirement and doing some local time to get to corndogs your crazy man you're crazy you bottled water man would call me out on the bottled water. Can you attacked further can you get a bottle of water gets Dasani always.

I did not know this, I would probably start getting the bottle of water. Now if I knew that was an option. I had no idea the bottle of water bottled water supply cookout life.

I had no idea that something you could do really good.

That was Emily Williams make an appearance.

Second ago who you write that next time, I'll give you because I have a separate order. It's the same but is just with your second order with the shape. Thank you for though I it's a go to same thing for local time to the World Series last night. You have Ryan Zimmerman Mr. national. His first World Series it that going yard becoming the fourth player ever to do that. The first player ever drafted by the Washington nationals.

This is the nationals first ever World Series appearance and on top of that he was born in Washington North Carolina Slidell Washington all know it's not little Washington you're talking to the former voice of the Washington pan back. Washington North Carolina also the home to Dominique Wilkins to so Washington North Carolina getting a little bit of love also. What a year it's been for Virginia as they win national titles in lacrosse and basketball. They have one of their finest baseball players going yard hitting a home run in his first World Series it that and also their football team might find themselves in the ACC football championship so that will remain to be seen, but since it Sharon with Darren.

I got a quick story. I had to be at a meeting in Raleigh at 9 AM this morning. Traffic was terrible, but you don't care about that what everyone complains about rye was ticked off and I take it out in the car that's in front of me so I start wishing terrible things to happen to iPad program.

I hate traffic. But what happens when something that actually happens to the car in front of you.

How do you feel because it's 730 this morning are making around 8 o'clock. The car in front of me were going 75 miles an hour get hit by a deer again 75 miles an hour the left leg. I'm not saying the guy hit a deer. I'm saying the deer hits the sedan in the back rear door driver side and you were behind this.

I was his close to you. It felt like I was as close to this car as I am to you right now. Happy was harm upon the correct car that he was a bad driver didn't seem like he knew what just happened. He got hit in his rear door and he's and then it took him about two minutes before he turned the hazards on and got off the road. But then I passed a man just a deer slam right in and in the deer quit skidding right past my car lately no residue deer residue residue on the carpet. This happened right in front of me like I disguise the worse. I hate this person so what deer hits car not car hit dear, that's exactly what I'm trying to describe to you right now.

So if you're in your car right now driving listening to the drive wish bad things on the person who's in front of you right now you are listening to W STS Winston-Salem COG Greensboro WPC in Burlington WMF or Highpoint signals making up sports up dryad food in football. That's the name of the segment that we did with one of our favorite reoccurring bits. It's Jordan Rodrigue kind enough to spend time with us from the athletic Carolinas finder story. She was looking ahead with the papers coming off the office by week to the off-season, there are few panthers on two 2020. So the prioritizing game begins for Marty Ernie.

Even right now as you start to look at things Jordan. We welcome you back on in the triad.

What do you view as the number one contract priority next off-season for Marty Ernie Bradberry and I think so much need defense right now. What shack Get together and so I would probably determine when they would very much like starting out and research and costs that story are going to think like I await your current year because so much with dirt and prep that helper can't hear the job Ron Rivera and Dr. Ehrenfeld kind of felt like my Ukraine are refined through 2020.

But now like the reverse problem where you probably want to keep guy start making start having a conversation prior and current. Ideally, when with the panthers like to make a decision one way or the other extender not to extend for cam Newton well collective bargaining agreement currently factor here and will probably start more in early spring are you locking the long term it correctly. Early prenatal and the role that I felt happy and healthy. Even on everything long-term to commit.

Usually the quarterback.

No.] Usually crank their contract like that to prove my value.

So now I think that hearing it. Follow Jordan on Twitter at Jordan Rodrigue reader stop the athletic Carolinas seat when I view what general managers how much attention they should pay to see an interest in what the rumors are what the media is putting out there about personnel decisions and trade rumors.

I do it the same way like you should be taking your children shopping like if you take kids shopping there always gonna want the sugary cereals and the good I want the airheads and whatever's at the at the counter and your hearing fansite.

All I want Mohammed Sunil okay. Can we please get in the manual. Sanders and how about NHA green and work hearing this about wide receivers, particularly because you know it's the sexy position and band would always like to see wide receiver running back holstered up and since the panthers have argued with the best running back in the sport. I don't think you necessarily looking fair. Is there anything you really play to some of these rumors about the Panthers looking into Emmanuel Sanders.

Should they be going after a wide receiver may bring with Chris Hogan with taking wicked manicure like target per game.
