Contradicting a report from Yahoo! Sports last week, Denver's management maintains that its discussions with Carmelo Anthony have been without conflict and that the relationship continues to be positive.

"I haven't had a negative conversation with Carmelo Anthony since I've known him," said Josh Kroenke. "I think he knows that he can come to me as an individual and we have that amount of respect to where we can talk about things openly in a non-combative way. So, anything that has been stated from sources behind sources, all of our talks have been cordial."

Kroenke said the same could be said for his conversations with Anthony's representatives, including agent Leon Rose.

"They've been perfect gentlemen, as well," Kroenke said. "They've been great."
