On February 18, 2010 House was traded by the Celtics during the season alongside J.R, Giddens, Bill Walker, and a future 2nd round draft pick to the New York Knicks for Marcus Landry and Nate Robinson. That season he averaged 7.0 points per game and showcased a .923 free-throw percentage. His 3-point percentage was .348, and his field goal percentage was a paltry .380. On July 29, 2010 House signed a two-year deal with the Miami Heat as a free agent.
