"It was all fine and dandy when he was laying people out, taking fines and all this stuff for your organization. But now, all of a sudden, when he says something that he feels, it's a problem," he added.
Oakley was arrested after being ejected from Madison Square Garden at a Knicks game last week. He was later banned indefinitely from the arena by Dolan, who also suggested Oakley had issues with both anger and alcohol.

Earlier this week, Dolan lifted Oakley's ban after the NBA stepped in and hosted a detente with Dolan, Oakley, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and Michael Jordan.
Still, Oakley has maintained he won't go to a game until Dolan gives a public apology.
Green is far from the only person in the NBA world to take Oakley's side. In fact, there has been practically universal support for Oakley as a result of his feud with the Knicks owner.
