Hi all, I'm Cap's buddy, out from admin-approval purgatory. Yes, lifelong Blazer fan (screen name is a Blazers reference) but, to ingratiate me with you Knicks folks, I'll mention that although I came of age in the Drexler era, my all-time favorite Blazer player to watch is probably Rod Strickland. Also, since I see a lot of Mets logos, I'll note that I was a Darryl Strawberry superfan growing up. I even have a baseball signed by him sitting next to me right now.

Anyway, I understand the hesitancy for newbies but I'd be happy to pick up a team. Preference would be the Celtics, mostly because I lived in Boston for 10 years. But I also have strong connections to Houston (both the city and the team). Not that any of that really matters.

All these years and I never knew that about you. Baseball never came up I guess. Strickland was gone too soon from NYC for sure.

As a fellow FEW Franchise (Franchise Experiencing Witchcraft) I've always felt a synergy between the Knicks and Blazers. The forum at large is eternally grateful for Josh Hart.

Also, we believe in representation here in BAF. Iirc we now have reps from:

Blazers
Celtics
Bulls
Magic
Warriors
Heat (!)
Raptors

In our midst.

Welcome, I'm sure Bish probably wants to chat with you via PM just to get you set up.

But anyone Cap vouches for is good with me!

Notably, he probably can't PM yet. I'll send a note to Howard to see if something can be done to remove that restriction.

I think settings are different for mods.

There's a poster to poster grace period, presumably to stop spammers.

I got your PM but I don't see a way to reply to it yet. At least it looks like I can receive incoming information.

Got one new GM, one more to go. Ya'll should see if the mods on the GB would allow a topic about this, I can't imagine there not being at least one GB nerd interested in joining BAF..

I wouldn't be opposed to the Pels fan coming in :dontknow:

Their posts outside of this group seem solid.

If you wouldn't mind, what was your previous SN? We (mods and ex mods) can run a back check if you're willing to provide that and vouch if it's solid.

Thank you for providing that.

Looking through the notes, I can't provide a recommendation at this time but check back as vacancies come up usually annually and a year of good graces could change that outlook.
