Draymond Green calls James Dolan's treatment of Charles Oakley 'a slave-owner mentality'
“The man is a legend. Treat him as such. First off, this is Charles Oakley. Why is he buying a ticket to the game? If I’m not mistaken, Dolan owned that team when he was playing. It wasn’t a problem when he was speaking out then. It wasn’t a problem when he was protecting their superstars then. So, if it wasn’t a problem then, when he was doing it for y’all, why is it all of a sudden now when he’s speaking out on something he don’t like? And now you want to disown him from your entire organization?
“That’s a slave mentality. You’re doing it for me, it’s all good, but now you’re doing it against me — or not necessarily against me, but you’re speaking out against my organization — it’s not good anymore? That’s a slave mentality — a slave-master mentality. That’s ridiculous.
“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. I disagree with that. I definitely think, like I said, that that’s a slave-master mentality.”

“Melo hasn’t done anything wrong there,” added Green, Anthony’s Olympic teammate. “Obviously, Melo’s gotten a little older and he’s slowed down a little bit, but he’s carried himself in the best way possible. He’s continued to play through bum knees and all types of stuff and continued to play at a high level, and yet he’s going through all this stuff. I just don’t know how you can do that to someone.”
Then, Green dropped perhaps the most damning statement of all about the damage Jackson and Dolan have done these last few weeks to the Knicks’ already dissatisfactory reputation in the NBA:
“When you look at what’s going on now, with the Melo situation in their organization and now how you do a legend in Charles Oakley,” he said, “I don’t know a free agent that would want to go there.”
