Alvin Gentry said the stalled Anthony Davis trade talks created a "toxic" atmosphere in New Orleans and Los Angeles, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell.
A reporter asked Gentry if he's seen a similar situation to this team's year while in the NBA
"Not this toxic, no," Gentry said. "Not that affected two teams. And two guys. One lost his job, and the other one resigned from his job. So no, in 31 years I hadn't had anything that would equal this kind of fallout. No, I haven't."
The Lakers pursued Anthony Davis prior to February's trade deadline but were unable to reach a deal to acquire the six-time All-Star.
