Iman Shumpert met with Knicks coach Mike Woodson before Wednesday’s win in Atlanta to discuss his uncertain status.
Sources have told The Post Shumpert is on the trading block and Knicks president/general manager Steve Mills is discussing scenarios with teams in an attempt to get frontcourt help and alleviate a shooting-guard glut.
According to Shumpert, Woodson told him what he told the media. Shumpert should be flattered teams are interested in him and take it as a compliment. But Shumpert didn’t say he’s in the clear.
“There’s nothing I can do about it,’’ Shumpert said after Thursday’s 109-106 Houston heartbreaker. “Got to keep playing and limit distractions. I just have to play hard.’’
Asked if he wants to stay a Knick, Shumpert said, “I just want to play ball and try to win. We’re in a slump at home and trying to fix that.’’
Shumpert has fallen out of favor with the organization and Woodson, who has been hypercritical of Shumpert since preseason. One person connected to the team feels he is viewed as a “head case’’ by some of his superiors.

Woodson said for now the Kenyon Martin-Amar’e Stoudemire platoon is off after getting approval from the medical staff.
Martin played both ends of the back-to-back, including Thursday’s loss to the Rockets. Martin got in for just 9:59 after going 16 minutes in Atlanta.
Stoudemire will still play every other game. He had a rough 5:03 outing in the first half Thursday when the Knicks were outscored by 10 points. Stoudemire was 0-for-3, getting his inside shot blocked once.

The Knicks are 0-4 when allowing 100-plus points. … Thursday was the 30th 40-point game of Carmelo Anthony’s career.
