One thing that is clear is both sides appear committed to communicating, a factor Anthony said will be key as this agreement moves forward. He liked how the coaching staff talked to him about starting Tuesday during their own private workout. “Let’s be transparent,” Anthony said. “That was a miscommunication over the past couple seasons about what my role would be and what was expected from me. That was a big point in talking to those guys — ‘Let’s be transparent. There’s nothing I won’t be willing to do, but just let me know up front; whatever it is, just let me know. Put it all on the table and we will go from there.’”
