Can I see Carmelo Anthony in purple and gold for the 2014-15 season? You bet your box of Honey Nut Cheerios I can.

Anthony in La-La land with La La Vasquez?

It’s a good match, especially if things don’t work out next season for the Knicks. La La spends a chunk of time in Hollywood and Las Vegas anyway, and they have pads in both places.

The Los Angeles Times speculated yesterday the Lakers, after losing out on Dwight Howard and projecting major cap space in 2014, could target Anthony if he winds up on the free-agent market. The report cited Anthony’s friendship with Kobe Bryant, who once said Anthony was the one player with whom he’d love to be teammates.

Anthony has an opt-out clause after next season. If the Knicks don’t take a step forward in 2013-14, he may see stars. Hollywood stars.

The Post has reported the Knicks can offer Anthony an extension starting in February, which would mark the collective bargaining agreement’s required three years from his last extension. But it’s unlikely Anthony would accept and blow his first chance at free agency.

The Post reported on May 29 that Anthony hoped the Knicks would acquire a secondary scorer to play alongside him and was concerned about management’s postseason remarks the team would stay intact. The underlying implication was if Anthony doesn’t see the team upgrade the roster with more star power, it could factor in his decision on whether to stay in New York long-term.

Anthony doesn’t want the contract opt-out to be leverage on the Knicks making moves this summer. On trash-bag day, he said it would be “selfish’’ for him to comment on his contract situation. On the afternoon of the NBA Draft, Anthony participated in a ceremony in which he refurbished two basketball courts in the Red Hook apartments where he was raised.

When asked about the notion the Knicks didn’t have a lot of free-agent money to spend, Anthony said: “I won’t whine or complain about anything. All I can do is tighten up my belt and keep on moving and going and get the troops going.’’

So far, the Knicks are one of a small handful of clubs who haven’t agreed to terms with an outside free agent. Boston is another one. Blame it on the new collective bargaining agreement.

Anthony told friends after the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade to the Nets, he figured the Knicks would make a play for point guard for Rajon Rondo. Anthony believes Rondo would be the perfect piece and would be super motivated in New York to attempt to knock off Garnett and Pierce.

Instead, the Knicks will return two of their three primary free agents in J.R. Smith, who flopped in the playoffs, and Pablo Prigioni. They didn’t even have enough money in this new CBA to keep their young sniper, Chris Copeland. And they may not have enough to woo aging Elton Brand. Or the cash to get a commitment from competent but hardly scintillating backup point guard Sebastian Telfair. Another Knicks target, point guard Will Bynum, agreed to terms last night to remain in Detroit.

The Knicks even were spurned by Houston small forward Francisco Garcia of The Bronx. He chose against signing with his hometown team, taking the same minimum offer from the Rockets to maintain his Bird rights — key in this new economic climate.

The Knicks’ biggest addition to date is via trade — Andrea Bargnani from the Raptors. He will officially become a Knick tomorrow with the finalization of their deal with Toronto. If Bargnani doesn’t become the secondary sniper to Anthony, doesn’t revive his ailing career in the Big Apple, it’s easy to imagine the Knicks will be worse than last season’s 54-win, Atlantic Division-champion, second-round club.

Of course, the Los Angeles scenario has the small matter of Mike D’Antoni being the Lakers coach. Anthony and D’Antoni didn’t click in New York. But that can change after next season.

The Knicks’ championship window is looking a lot like one year. Because if things aren’t grand at the Garden, Anthony may want to spread his wings to the other coast with Kobe.
