Narrative:
Three aircraft all coming from den sector 09 were in potential conflict. We were not taking the hand off from den 09 because the aircraft were not separated. Den called for a hand off and they asked if we wanted them to spin the aircraft in conflict. We said we wanted them to separate them. They said they would spin them. We just said our control? We had to turn two of the aircraft one 20 degrees left; and one ended up turning 35 degrees right. The sector already had 20+ aircraft and was busy with a d-side. Altitude could have worked but could have created a situation later down the road.I would like den 09 to separate aircraft coming from them to our sector. If they can't see this traffic then they need to have further training.
