Rajon Rondo can look at the Knicks again as a sexy destination. Perhaps Mike Conley and other elite point guards can, too.

Adding to the intrigue of Jeff Hornacek’s imminent hiring is the prospect it will help the Knicks in free agency. Traditional point guards may be in vogue again for the Knicks when the market opens July 1 now that former Suns speedballer Hornacek is close to being named head coach.

Knicks president Phil Jackson’s beloved triangle offense could be dead and buried, multiple sources told The Post, but the Zen Master must first make that eulogy at an introductory press conference that likely will take place Monday or Tuesday.

Jackson’s friends are stunned by the triangle’s potential demise after he fervently defended the system for two-plus years since being hired. Jackson won all 11 of his coaching titles with the triangle, but critics claim it’s outdated.

“I hope he’s not required to run the triangle,’’ a Hornacek friend said. “That’s not what he does.’’

Hornacek was a point-guard fiend in Phoenix with a roster of three top-notch playmakers in Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas. High pick-and-rolls, 3-point shots and an uptempo pace became Hornacek’s modus operandi. The Suns were eighth and 11th, respectively, in offensive rating (points per 100 possessions) in his only two full seasons.

“Point guard becomes more important in a traditional offensive system versus the triangle,’’ one league executive said. “Frankly, though, they need upgrades all over the board, [but] especially the 2-guard position.’’

Still, Hornacek could be a free-agent magnet for point guards. A source told The Post that Hornacek got along terrifically with Dragic.

Former Knicks point guard Chauncey Billups told The Post recently the triangle is a free-agent turn-off.

“If I’m a top point guard and a free agent, I’m not going to want to be playing in that triangle,’’ Billups said. “A point guard needs more pick-and-roll, more freedom. It’s going to be restrictive to my play.’’

In March, Jackson said the club may refrain from spending on point-guard free agents because his system requires a balanced two-guard front. Jackson talked about needing a penetrator, indicating that just as well could be a shooting guard.

“Chasing a point guard, where it becomes just an obsession, isn’t necessary,’’ Jackson said. “We can play the game without that.”

Other than aging Jose Calderon, expected to return as a backup if he even remains on the roster, the Knicks have two young point guards who have question marks. Jerian Grant had a mediocre rookie season, but finished strongly as a starter. And rehabbing former 76er Tony Wroten has yet to play a game as a Knick as he attempts a comeback from ACL knee surgery.

Calderon actually could be more useful as a pick-and-roll guy if Hornacek, the former Jazz standout, goes heavy into John Stockton/Karl Malone mode.

But clearly the Knicks need backcourt help, especially if starting shooting guard Arron Afflalo opts out. It appeared a shoo-in Afflalo was a goner after having a falling-out with interim coach Kurt Rambis, who demoted him.

Afflalo could rethink matters in a different system under Hornacek.

If Afflalo and Derrick Williams opt out, the Knicks would have $30 million in cap space. After Rondo and Conley, the remaining notable free-agent point guards include the quick Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson and someone named Jeremy Lin, who thrived in Mike D’Antoni’s system, which is not dissimilar from Hornacek’s style.

On the lower end of the scale are solid backups Tyler Johnson (Miami) and Matthew Dellavedova (Cleveland), whom Knicks personnel man Mark Warkentien loved in the 2013 draft. Both are restricted free agents.

Rondo might be a better value than Conley, who is coming off a mysterious Achilles injury and seeking a max deal despite no All-Star Game appearances with the Grizzlies. Sacramento can only pay Rondo $11 million per year unless it dips into cap space. Reports have the Kings refusing to give Rondo a whopping pact.

Carmelo Anthony, Rondo’s former teammate at Oak Hill Academy, said in March the Knicks are a “perfect opportunity’’ for Rondo, even in the triangle. Rondo had said he didn’t see himself fitting. Jackson’s stunning coaching hire could change all that.
