Hardaway Jr ready for London debut

It was a disappointing start to the 2014/15 season for the New York Knicks as they suffered a 104-80 defeat to the Chicago Bulls.

He said: "I would possibly [sign for a different club], Manchester is perfect for me, It's my hometown, my family is here but I wouldn't be opposed to signing for another team." "I've said that I want to end my career playing in England,  I've played in Europe and I've done everything I wanted to do." "I enjoyed last season, it was a good experience in a tough situation - the team had just joined the league, it was good for the team to be competitive."
