After years of bouncing around in the NBA, Josh Hart may have finally found a permanent home with the New York Knicks.
On Wednesday morning, it was announced that Hart signed a new four-year deal with the Knicks.
This comes after he played just 25 games with the team following the February trade deadline.
Hart seems quite happy with this news and posted an orange and blue heart on his Twitter profile, a clear indication of his love for the Knicks.

Even after just a few months, Knicks fans already love Hart back.
He averaged 10.2 points and 7 rebounds per game and became an important part of their second unit.
So far, Hart has only started in one game with the Knicks but that may change in the future.
At the same time, having him lead the team’s bench could be a great help for New York too.
Since joining the league, Hart has played for the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Portland Trail Blazers.
He has been a reliable and strong bench player, versatile and capable of defending all sorts of players.
And while he might continue to be a bench player in New York, he could be a very pivotal one.
Beyond what he does on the court, Hart has a strong and shining personality, and the fans in New York love rooting for him.
He also gets along with other players, including Jalen Brunson, his old college buddy.
For those who have loved him since he joined the league in 2017, this new contract is something that Hart has deserved for many years.
