Michael Jordan and NBA commissioner Adam Silver have spoken with Charles Oakley and the New York Knicks to try to reconcile the dispute between Oakley and his former team, the commissioner said in a statement released Monday evening. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News first reported the conversation had taken place. Silver, Oakley and Knicks owner James Dolan met at the league office on Monday, with Jordan calling in to the meeting via phone.

"In an effort to find a path forward, New York Knicks owner Jim Dolan, Charles Oakley, and I met today at the league office, along with Michael Jordan, who participated by phone.

Why do Jordan and Silver feel the need to resolve this dispute between an NBA owner and a former player? What am I missing?

Did Jordan go there to help plead Oakley's case or did he just see another opportunity to shittalk a fellow owner and tagged along?
