Muniz made his announcement via this extremely long Facebook post last night. And as easy as it might be to make fun of him, he actually seems like a very earnest, interested buyer:
I always used to say, one day, the Clippers will be in the position where they could win a NBA Championship, and as a super fan, I could not wait for that day.
...
I am a Clippers fan. I've never been a fan of the owner. I never wanted the team to win for the owner. I am a fan of the players, the coaches, and I root for the team to win for the fans. Clipper Nation. I root for the team to win for themselves. For their dreams and aspirations.
And if that didn't make his intentions clear enough, he also sent this tweet:
Okay. "For their dreams and aspirations" is maybe a little dramatic. But you can bet that Agent Cody Banks would never go off on a racist rant or demean the team he owns. Maybe we should give Frankie a shot.
