Tony Dutt, agent for Raymond Felton, told The Post yesterday the ex-Knicks point guard would love to be back playing alongside Amar’e Stoudemire.
That scenario became closer to reality now that the Knicks were spurned by Steve Nash. Knicks brass reluctantly traded Felton — who played with the Trail Blazers last season — to the Nuggets in the Carmelo Anthony blockbuster.
“They’ve shown great interest, but there’s stuff they’ve had to get through,’’ Dutt told the Post.
“He loved playing in New York. Our choice was to never have left New York. There were no hard feelings. Management handled it the best they could. I don’t think they ever misled us and I never felt they wanted him in that trade.’’
The Knicks have the $3.09 million taxpayer mid-level exception to offer Felton, though Dutt said he hoped a sign-and-trade can be done with Portland to get an increased salary.
“I consider them definitely on his high list,’’ Dutt said. “He would love to go back. He loved New York and was playing at an all-star level.’’
