"I like Dion," Spoelstra said. "There's a lot of narrative probably that's out there. I've gotten to know him pretty well. I've been to Philly. We've spent a lot of time together. We butted heads sometimes at first. But we've come to, over the years, to find some common ground.
"In the competitive feel, we're not that far apart. He has a very charming side to him. And the competitive side, as long as it’s channeled the right way, is our language. And we speak that language, as well. That's just a matter of getting directed in a collective way and in the right direction."

I don't sense a true embrace of Dion

Yes you CAN, Ira. You figured it out, heard it right from Spo's own mowf. It's a death embrace. He HATES him.
When a person says "I like you" and then goes on to critique you he doesn't really like you.
When a person says "You've probably heard a lot of talk that I don't like you" it's because that person has told other people he really doesn't like you.
When a person says "I like you; I know you pretty well" it means he knows you well enough to not like you.
When a person says to you "We're not that far apart"--Like a wife about a husband or Trump about Democrats--it means you and (s)he have irreconcilable differences.
"We butted heads sometimes at first. But we've come to, over the years, to find some common ground". Read: he has always disliked you; he has tried, really tried--for years, but the common ground you have found are two ice floes that you're straddling over frigid Lake He-hate-me.
"He has a very charming side to him" if you look at him sideways from a distance and squint.
"As long as his competitive side is channeled the right way," in the my way channel or the highway channel...I still don't like him.
