INDIANAPOLIS — If you believe Mike Woodson, what you see is what you get with the 2012-13 Knicks.
The 15 men who practiced Tuesday will be the ones they likely will go to war with in pursuit of breaking their 40-year title drought, a quest renewed Wednesday night against the rugged Pacers with the trading deadline looming Thursday.
Of course, Woodson has fibbed to the media before, but a person familiar with the Knicks’ thinking expected “a quiet Thursday’’ despite the Knicks (32-18) average play since mid-December.
Tuesday marked the first time this season all 15 players practiced, with reserve big men Rasheed Wallace (stress reaction) and Marcus Camby (plantar fasciitis) joining the fray.
The Knicks have been active in listening to offers despite Carmelo Anthony’s objections. The Post has learned the Knicks have shown interest in ex-Knicks center Timofey Mozgov. Others names on the Knicks’ radar are Phoenix’s Jared Dudley and Jermaine O’Neal, and Orlando’s J.J. Redick.
Woodson said it appears a move will not be made by the trading deadline. Nor will Woodson go through with his threat to tinker with the starting lineup.
“I don’t think we have anything working,’’ Woodson said of the trade front. “You always talk. We like the makeup of our team. As we stand today, this is our basketball team and we have to move forward in the right direction.’’
Later on ESPN Radio, Woodson expounded, “It’s not going to be easy to get [quality] players that can come in now. We have an older team and there’s not a lot of teams around that are going to take older veterans. It doesn’t work that way. This is the team that we’ve assembled and I like the makeup of our ball club, I really do. … We’ve got to live with what we have.’’
Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald watched the scrimmages intently, which is rare, but he didn’t stick around to talk to reporters after practice, which is commonplace.
The Knicks probably will not be permitted to execute a sign-and-trade this summer because of a new CBA rule kicking in penalizing teams at least $4 million above the luxury-tax threshold. That’s where the Knicks should be — unless they do some creative work at the deadline.
One person close to the situation, however, said he would be “surprised’’ if the Knicks trade second-year man Iman Shumpert, the only genuine trade asset the Knicks could deal to upgrade the roster.
Woodson continues to support the rusty Shumpert and said he has no plans to change the starting lineup. Following the horrific Garden loss to Toronto entering the break, Woodson said the Knicks may need a lineup change.
One option was reinserting Ronnie Brewer for either struggling Jason Kidd or Shumpert and keep the small-ball alignment that has Anthony at power forward. The other possibility was making Amar’e Stoudemire a starter, reverting to a traditional lineup with Anthony at small forward.
None of it is happening.
“I had a few days to think about it,’’ Woodson said. “We’re 8-5 with the lineup the way it was with Rook [Shumpert] being back. A couple of those games we were right there and probably should’ve won. I’m not going to panic and make any unnecessary changes I don’t think we’ll need.’’
Since Shumpert returned to the lineup, however, the Knicks have faced just five teams with winning records.
Stoudemire seemed stiffer than in the past when discussing his bench role, which doesn’t allow him to finish games either.
“That’s coach’s decision,’’ Stoudemire said. “It has nothing to do with me. I feel great. I’m ready to play. It’s coach’s decision.’’
Pacers GM Donnie Walsh told The Post on Monday the Knicks’ size is what separates them and gives the club a chance to beat Miami. But Woodson will stay small, which is to Anthony’s liking. The team’s overall effectiveness has fallen since his shot attempt average rose. He now leads the league in shot attempts per game (22.1).
The Knicks talked about less Anthony isolations and more ball movement to cure their ills as they tumbled to a 1-3 skid into the break.
“We got to share the ball and help each other out,’’ Kidd said. “We were doing that in the first part of the season. We got away from that at the end. When you got a guy like Melo going you need to give him the ball and just watch. But we can’t rely on him to carry us the whole way.’’
Woodson said he likes the two point guards in the starting lineup in Raymond Felton and Kidd, but wants the latter to be less of a shooting guard and more “facilitator.’’
