Alvin Gentry Clearly Trolls Anthony Davis When Asked About Players and Picks from Lakers Trade
By Parker White
No matter what happens down the road, we are all in agreement that the New Orleans Pelicans did the right thing in trading Anthony Davis. Maybe they didn't want to send him to the Los Angeles Lakers, but they made out pretty well considering they dealt a superstar.
Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry seems thrilled about the return, as they ended up with Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and the No. 4 overall pick that ended up being picks 8th, 17th and 35th overall.
Not only did they get all those picks and players, they had the No. 1 overall pick and drafted Zion Williamson. Gentry is feeling good about the haul back, and he did a nice job trolling Davis and LA at the same time.

“That’s a haul folks.”
A very punny response to AD’s “That’s All Folks” Looney Tunes shirt.
Gentry said, "that's a haul folks", which is referencing the Looney Tunes t-shirt Anthony Davis wore during the final regular season game, which ended up being his final as a member of the Pelicans.

You think AD rubbed some people the wrong way with that shirt?
It was a funny shirt that Davis wore, and it's funny that Gentry remembered it and used that same style of a phrase to troll him back.
