Thats what I always leaned to with Durant coming in, and considering the options available otherwise.. I'd rather see the team keep going on the younger path and strike again later in a year. Team is not in contend-now mode and isn't put together to do so; win-now mode? moreso yes.

With Durant, its a lightning in a bottle situation and a semi-short window where the first year, it may not click well enough but make a decent playoff run, and other spots on the team may not be "established" enough, or at all.

With Durant, inevitably have to reset and restore in 2-3 years.. rather than with someone else for double that at 4-6 years at least, much more on Wembanyama's timeline when he's an MVP candidate, making deeper playoff runs.

But the chance is worth taking if it happens and would be legitimately fun and progressive for the org.

Seriously, "waiting on a bigger name that fits our timeline?"
That really narrows it down to only a few players that have a bigger name than Durant that are 21-25 years old and looking to switch teams.

Maybe we know something about Luka not resigning in LA?(Wouldnt that be the icing on the cake for Dallas?)

Zion? (I wouldnt consider him better than Durant but his age fits our timeline)

I don't know that any name will be bigger than KD but plenty are younger and just on the cusp of bigger careers.

I was thinking Deni Avdija (and then heard that name on SM), maybe Murphy III, maybe Herb Jones (not a big enough 'name' though a terrific specialist in his own right), maybe Lauri?

Zion and his self-control issues can stay far far away. We're not doing reclamation projects anymore.

I think with the LAL majority stake sale, they need a name and brand like Luka to go forward with. Suspect he stays.

I loved Deni in that draft we selected Dev but Avdija went a couple of picks ahead. Would love it if we could pry him from Blazers. Murphy III may already be too costly. Jazz want the #2 pick and I suspect we could get Lauri and 5 (for the low cost of someone's first born because that's how Ainge rolls) but we've yet to budge on moving it. Good. If PATFO's so sure on Harper, have to trust it.
