I'd like to add the Knicks gave serious consideration to cutting him from the roster hours before his first start because his 30-day contract was set to expire in a few days.

The moral of story here is that if you have an expiring contract, you better hope your next opponent would be the Nets ;)
Where did you hear this? I follow the Knicks closely and never heard they were considering cutting him.
All over the place, during the telecasts... etc.

They weren't going to cut him, so much as not renew his contract. His contract wasn't guaranteed, and he was living on his brother's couch.

They were going to let him go and probably sign vet Mike James (currently in the D league)

This is true. RealGM knicks forums had a thread about this.
