As much as he was critical to our defense that year it still gets lost on a lot of people here how much we wanted to kill him on a nightly basis for some of the dumb stuff he does. Just an awkward dude at times. Already made a couple of funny plays tonight. Under appreciated around the league still but overrated on here.

Carmelo Anthony said he’s loved living in Los Angeles across the years and dropped enough hints Monday his time may be done as a Knick.

Following the morning shootaround at Staples Center, Anthony was careful to say he hasn’t “thought about’’ a move to the Clippers, but didn’t reject the notion either, with a fourth straight losing season as a Knick already a certainty.

Anthony admitted the romantic idea of one day retiring a Knick — which he once said he wanted — appears “highly impossible’’ in this new NBA, and has sought advice about his future and “what could be next.’’

The Knicks held preliminary trade talks with the Clippers before February’s deadline but no package formed to present to Anthony, who has a no-trade clause. The Clippers make perfect sense for Anthony. He’d hook up with one of his best friends in point guard Chris Paul, and Anthony’s former Knicks head coach Mike Woodson, who is Doc Rivers’ assistant.

According to a source, Anthony “bumped’’ into Woodson and Sam Cassell, another Clippers assistant, Saturday night at a Hollywood hotspot. Anthony had his best season under Woodson in 2012-13.

Anthony made no bones about his “family’’ enjoying Los Angeles in the offseason. Before the trade deadline, Anthony said family was a big factor in deciding whether to waive the no-trade clause.

“Sometimes you need to get in a new environment and feel a different type of energy and vibe,’’ Anthony said.

Anthony was referring to his team, but he probably could have been talking about his career, too.

“Over the years, I’ve grown to like it,’’ Anthony said. “I think as you get older, you start looking for places you can relax and enjoy and be good over the years. L.A. has been a place where my family feels comfortable at. We’ve been here for seven years now.’’
