I'm certain the Jazz brain trust has calculated the fan bases level of elasticity much like an insurance Actuary as high $$$ are at stake.
"Hmmm, we got away with the Doke pick and merch sales remained constant" I can envision being proclaimed in the boardroom.
Post-draft Kalipari mentioned that there were "a few" teams that he refused to work out for because "he wasn't going there".

Booker
Marcus Smart

They had no choice in the matter.
