Carmelo Anthony is looking for a quick resolution to contract extension talks, a deal which could be worth maximum dollars, according to the Denver Post.

"Our plan is to hopefully have someone to talk to, even if it's (owner) Stan (Kroenke), on July 1, and move to get something done," Calvin Andrews, Anthony's agent, said Tuesday. "I know there's no GM in place, but somebody should be. We'll deal with that somebody. There's enough conversation to know that's what everybody wants to do. That's what everybody wants to get hammered out."

The Nuggets may, however, lose big man Francisco Elson to free agency.

"Francisco's neutral," Duffy said. "He likes Denver. They drafted him, and he's prospered there. But when he looks around the periphery, I don't think he's any different than any other free agent. He just wants to look around and see his options."
