Sources: Calderon, Bargnani being shopped

Water is wet. Pain hurts. The Knicks want to make more trades. Yeah, so what else is new? League sources confirmed the Knicks actively are seeking to deal Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani, which comes as no real surprise. The biggest shocker might be finding a taker for the alwaysinjured Bargnani.

“I would think they could find some takers for Calderon,” one opposing team executive said. “He has two years left (at $15.1 million) and 7 ¹/₂ million for him annually is not terrible. I’d think a team look ing for point guard depth — even a starter — would be interested.

“Bargnani, I’d think the only way someone would want him is as an expiring contract,” the source exec said. “No one wants him as a player.”

Calderon, 33, has been decidedly subpar but might resurrect his game in a different environment. Bargnani has appeared in only two games, totaling two minutes as he has battled an assortment of injuries. He’s making $11.5 million.

The Knicks last week began gutting the roster when they dealt J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to the Cavaliers as part of a threeteam trade. The Knicks picked up a pair of trade exceptions, a 2019 secondrounder from Cleveland and three players whom they waived although they signed two of them, forwards Lance Thomas and Lou Amundson, to 10day contracts over the weekend.

The Knicks also dumped Samuel Dalembert, who arrived with Calderon and Shane Larkin from the Mavericks in the trade in which the Knicks dealt Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton. With the Knicks enduring a bibli cally horrific season, the roster gutting has begun.

Both Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire were limited in practice Monday as they battle back from knee issues.

“Amar’e didn’t do any of the contact stuff that we did,” coach Derek Fisher said. “Melo was in and out a lot of the stuff we did [Monday] so I would say his was less limited than Amar’e’s, but they both got in some good work. Amar’e got up and down the court really good. We did some 3on2 stuff early he was in on. … They both looked pretty good.”

Anthony appreciated Knicks president Phil Jackson taking responsibility for the team.

“It’s three different perspectives. You ask Phil right now, Phil is taking the blame,” Anthony said. “Sometimes, Coach Fisher takes the blame. It’s a lot of times where I’ll take the blame. ... All three of us have to step up to the plate and Phil stepped up to the plate. Fish stepped up to the plate. I’m always stepping up to the plate saying I need to do better for my team.”
