The NBA has heard enough about the ongoing spat between Charles Oakley and Knicks owner James Dolan and will attempt to reconcile their differences, according to the New York Post.

The league office is considering having NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Michael Jordan join Oakley and Dolan on a conference call either Tuesday or Wednesday (AEDT), the report said, citing an unnamed source.
Jordan, the owner of the Hornets, is one of Oakley's former teammates and friends who wants to see the spat come to an end.
Dolan and the Knicks have engaged in bizarre back-and-forth finger pointing since Oakley's arrest Thursday, releasing a series of statements pleading for Oakley to "get some help soon" and painting him as the aggressor who started the scuffled last week. Dolan insinuated Friday that Oakley is an alcoholic, which Oakley denied.
The Knicks owner said Oakley is banned from stepping foot inside Madison Square Garden as a result of the altercation, which has owned headlines across the NBA and added yet another ring to New York's circus this season.
NBA players like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, J.R. Smith and Chris Paul have expressed their support for Oakley, who spent 10 seasons with the Knicks and was an All-Star in 1994.
Former Pacers guard Reggie Miller also supports Oakley and asked why any potential free agent would want to play for an owner who "treats past greats like this".
