So Knicks brand is cool but he didn't want to join the Knicks because they weren't playing well. This is the definition of a #2 or #3 option. If he was truly a #1, then would have come to the Knicks, won games which would have made the Knicks brand cool and then attracted all sorts of talent to the Knicks.
That's not true. The Knicks had pretty bad management at the time. His presence alone would not mean more good players to the Knicks.
Besides, probably he would bring along Irving or Kemba Walker (he said that he almost signed with the Knicks in 2019). DeAndre Jordan would remain a Knick for sure as well.
KD could end up in a similar situation to Melo being the only good player on the roster.
Besides, he did not know how well he would return.
