Above all, the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as the entire franchise, deserve and need our players and coaches to dig deep within themselves.

I believe in our players, our coaching staff, and our entire franchise.

Our entire franchise has done everything in its power to put all of our players and its coaching staff in the best possible position to execute when it counts. And to deliver to the highly supportive fans of Cleveland a proud, intense, impassioned, all-out drive to achieve a championship.

Fans will express themselves. We will always have the best security possible, as we always do. And I hope that Cleveland and the fans, you would hope that everybody keeps it to a certain level, because anything you do that crosses the line isn't going to look bad for anybody but the franchise and Cleveland.

It's great for our players. It's great for our ownership and it's great for our fans. They all deserve to win. It's that simple.

Cleveland, because of the other businesses we have there now, is certainly a place we would look at. We're always open to talking.
