CLEVELAND — Frank Ntilikina, Willy Hernangomez and Jeff Hornacek are safe.

In a State of the Knicks address on Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena, Knicks president Steve Mills said Ntilikina and Hernangomez are keepers. He also dampened speculation about Jeff Hornacek’s immediate future, saying he’s not being judged by a won-loss record, and Friday’s Brooklyn victory showed he has the team moving in the right direction.

“Jeff, [GM] Scott [Perry] and I are in this together,” Mills said Sunday.

Mills essentially indicated the Knicks have no interest in dealing either Ntilikina or Hernangomez in an Eric Bledsoe deal.

After an 0-3 start that followed an 0-5 preseason, speculation started mounting about Hornacek’s future. Mills said that didn’t come from the Knicks and it was too early for such talk.

However, Mills fell short of guaranteeing Hornacek as safe for the season. He indicated, no matter the record, he still wants progress in certain departments such as defense and cutting down turnovers.

That’s why Friday’s 107-86 rout of the Nets was huge, Mills said. The Knicks stifled Brooklyn while the club committed just seven turnovers.

Regarding his recent conversations with Hornacek, Mills said: “We told him to focus on getting the team better and finding ways to reduce the turnovers and make sure we’re improving defensively. We didn’t focus on the record. Our focus is how we’re improving over the course of the season. If we do all the things from a defensive standpoint, wins will come out of that. I do believe it’s getting better.”

And media/fan talk of a potential change was wayward.

“There was speculation, not on our part, but the outside world,” said Mills, who last spoke on the first day of training camp. “The three of us are on the same page with that. We want to see the team move in a positive direction. Hopefully the Brooklyn game is a step in the right direction. It demonstrated the kinds of things we want the team to do.”

Mills admitted a coaching change early in the season would not be prudent for a new regime looking for a stabler environment after Phil Jackson’s chaotic reign.

“I think stability is important,” Mills said. “We need to make sure we’re doing as a team and doing the things we said we were going to do over the summer. As long as we’re doing those things, we’ll continue to build this group. Stability is important for this group. We haven’t had a lot of it here.”

Hornacek, even after the Boston debacle dropped the Knicks to 0-3, wasn’t alarmed the club was slipping despite players claiming not everyone knew the offense.

“It was getting better,” Hornacek said Sunday before facing the Cavs. “We just had a game that wasn’t that good.”

After an injury-riddled start, Ntilikina, in his first regular-season game at the Garden, electrified the crowd with a nine-point, five-assist outing off the bench. Hernangomez, also considered a building block, finally entered the rotation Friday against Brooklyn.

“I thought [Ntilikina] did a great job,” Mills said. “He’s not a flashy player but does the right things, plays solid defensively.”

Sources said the Suns asked for a combo of Ntilikina and Hernangomez. Mills, who doesn’t want to part with either, supported Hornacek in making Hernangomez “earn” his minutes.

“This is part of Willy’s development,” Mills said. “He’s a guy who’s going to be with us the next three years, and we have a lot of time to work with him, and he’s going to be part of who we are.”

Though Mills was GM and scouted Ntilikina in France, the final decision on drafting Ntilikina was Jackson’s.

“We’re committed to him and his development,” Mills said. “What we’re trying to do with this team, it centers around guys like Frank, [Kristaps Porzingis], draft picks moving forward. I feel really good about him.”

With Jarrett Jack elevated to starting point guard over Ramon Sessions on Friday, Mills and Perry have a major roster issue. They have to cut a player in mid-November, when Joakim Noah returns from suspension. Mills indicated he’d like to keep both point guards, however, to help Ntilikina. Mills could trade another player for a draft pick to ease the glut.

“We’ll figure that out — still time for that,” Mills said. “There may be other things that happen. We always knew we needed veterans to help support Frank. They both bring different things to the table. Jarrett did a great job of calming things down. They both mentor Frank in different ways. We feel we need guys like that to bring Frank along.”
