Bish has always made it a point that he wouldn’t let a prospect with a new account come in the game.

Damn people making alt accounts to try and take down the Spurs that's crazy work. And making it obvious by throwing away all their former opinions on letting a newbie join BAF to suddenly inviting them and telling them how to get bish attention...

Something fishy going on here

All good man.

Unfortunately BAF has to be careful and that's why there's a vetting process and usually new posters aren't allowed. Obviously you can understand why as people in theory could just make alt accounts to just compromise the game.

Not saying you are of course but the possibility is there which is why posters who are established as long time members is usually a requirement.

Wackbone was a pretty new poster if I remember when we let him in if I remember correctly. Terrenceclark was another new poster. And I’m sure there’s other new posters we’ve let in here that I’m forgetting. So I don’t get why we’re being picky now. It seems pretty hard to find people to even want to get in BAF.

I also find it funny about a guy who’s only been in the league for a year and then rage quitted is trying to dictate who can join BAF. Lmao.

I mean does it matter if they were all under a year of posting? I dont understand the pickiness when we’re already struggling to find people to join the game.

And it sounds like he’s been around for a long time under a different old account. He is talking about gmats and other games and has a reputation on the pelicans board. So he’s actually pretty experienced and sounds like a great fit here to me :dontknow:

Darius Garland- $84/2 years
Caleb Martin- $15/5 years

Are both on the block, looking to either break into multiple pieces or combine for a front court starter
