I think the Blazers and Spurs have a very mutual respect for each other. I rarely see them talk shit and they usually praise the other team after a win or loss.
Also, it seems like they really have good communication with each other. For example: We were interested in Splitter. The Spurs GM asked us what we were planning to offer and we replied. They said "Yes we will pay him that much" and Blazers didn't make the offer. I like that!
