Cleveland Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert addressed the media on Wednesday.

"Nobody is satisfied, nobody is happy," the owner said. "We had one goal, and we didn't meet it."

Gilbert indicated that the Cavaliers were in "break-even neighborhood" financially this season and pledged to do whatever it will take to win that title.

"Financially, we will spend what we feel gives us the best risk/return opportunity to win a championship," he said.

Gilbert was unsurprisingly asked about the future of LeBron James in Cleveland and asked to comment about the situation for nervous fans.

"You think you're nervous," replied Gilbert jokingly.

But then he turned serious and said, "We feel very confident that this franchise and the direction we're going, the things we're doing, will make it the best place to play basketball for our current players, LeBron James, future players or anybody else. That's all we can do -- try to create the best environment, the best culture, create a team that has the best chances of ultimately winning an NBA championship -- or more.

"We're doing that. I feel very, very good about that."

He declined to say whether he expected James to sign an extension this summer.
