Good stuff.
Over the last couple of years, the management teams of the Spurs and Patriots have grown close. Though they've never actually met, their top executives - Spurs general manager R.C. Buford and Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli - are in constant contact with one another via e-mail and telephone, sharing ideas and philosophies about building and maintaining winning franchises.
"I try to read everything I can about them and respect the hell out of the way they've done things," Buford said of the Pats during the NBA Finals.
