Josh Hart wants to stay in New York long term
Not only was that less money than Hart could have earned on the open market, but it helped give the Knicks flexibility to bring in Donte DiVincenzo, whose presence makes three former Villanova standouts on the roster. “Hopefully,” Hart said of a long-term extension. “Opting in, I was gonna take it one day at a time. We get there and then we can start having that conversation. Hopefully — that’s a place where I want to be and a place I want to call home. So we’ll see.”

At Team USA camp, Josh Hart says he exercised his player option ‘to help (NYK) continue to build. I felt like that was something I wanted to do, something the team wanted also. I wanted to be (in NY), wanted the team to be the best that it could be.” More: sny.tv/articles/knick… – 8:02 AM

More on this storyline
Hart, who was added in a February deal for the regular season’s last 25 games, comes into the season as a key part of a roster that won the franchise its first playoff series since 2013 in the spring. On Thursday, he sounded very much like someone who sees himself in New York for the long haul. “I felt like it was home when I got there,” Hart said. “So now I’m just excited to be in the Garden for a full 41-plus, hopefully. And just having that New York vibe, that New York energy behind us.” -via New York Post / August 4, 2023
That, he said, played heavily into his decision to opt in. “It was a hard decision, but New York is somewhere I wanted to be,” he said. “And we’ll get to everything else, hopefully later down the line. But opted in, New York is where I want to be. It’s where I want to call home. I feel like that was the best decision to do.” -via New York Post / August 4, 2023
Ian Begley: NYK’s Josh Hart on opting in for ‘23-‘24: “I wanted to stay in New York, I wanted to give this team the … chance to the best team that it could be and help them compete. Opting in was definitely something that was going to help the team.” pic.twitter.com/SPCWvrgRMx -via Twitter @IanBegley / August 3, 2023
