Jeff Van Gundy: Carmelo shouldn’t be starter in ideal landing spot

Jeff Van Gundy said he can see Carmelo Anthony as a sixth man for the Clippers, but the former Knicks coach can’t see him replacing Kevin Love in Cleveland.

The Clippers and Cavaliers are the two teams for which the Knicks believe Anthony would waive his no-trade clause to join. However, it will be intriguing how Anthony responds to his fourth-quarter benching in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

The Cavaliers want Anthony, but not for Love, whom Knicks president Phil Jackson craves.

“It all depends on who it’s for,’’ Van Gundy, now a commentator for ESPN, told The Post regarding the Cavaliers’ interest.
