Atlanta Hawks
This includes a projected signing that is not yet official, so these figures are an estimate.
Through the 2033 draft the Hawks control 9 first-round picks and 8 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033. 7 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.
In 2026 the Hawks hold 3 picks: CLE's first (Cleveland's own first conveyed to Atlanta, landing at pick 23, from the De'Andre Hunter trade with Atlanta.), NOP's first (New Orleans's own first conveyed to Atlanta, landing at pick 8, as the more favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2026 firsts. From the June 2025 Derik Queen deal.), and BOS's second (Boston's own second conveyed to Atlanta at pick 57, from the June 2025 Porzingis three-team trade.); they also owe out their own first to SAS (Atlanta's own first conveyed to San Antonio as the more favorable of the Atlanta and San Antonio 2026 firsts, landing at pick 20. From the Dejounte Murray obligation to San Antonio.) and their own second to DEN (Atlanta's own second conveyed to Denver at pick 49, routed via Brooklyn and Golden State.).
In 2027 the Hawks pick twice: MIL's first (Atlanta receives the less favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2027 firsts, top-4 protected; New Orleans keeps the more favorable on its own slot. From the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade and the Dejounte Murray obligation.) and their own second; they also owe out their own first to SAS (Atlanta's own first is owed to San Antonio unprotected, the final year of the Dejounte Murray obligation. Separately, Atlanta receives the less favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2027 firsts, top-4 protected, which lands on Milwaukee's slot.).
In 2028 the Hawks pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (ATL holds the most favorable of its own first and the less favorable of the UTA and CLE 2028 firsts, from arrangements tied to the earlier Cleveland and Utah trades.); they also owe out their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).
In 2029 the Hawks pick twice: their own first and CLE's second (Unprotected second owed to Atlanta, tied to the De'Andre Hunter trade structure.); they also owe out their own second to OKC (Charlotte receives the more favorable of Atlanta's and Miami's 2029 seconds and Oklahoma City the less favorable, from the February 2026 Ousmane Dieng trade; Atlanta's slot lands with Oklahoma City if it is the less favorable, otherwise Charlotte.).
In 2030 the Hawks pick twice: their own first and NYK's second (Unprotected second routed through Portland and terminal in Atlanta, from the Vit Krejci trade.); they also owe out their own second to OKC (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, in the June 2026 Aaron Wiggins trade.).
In 2031 the Hawks pick twice: their own first and their own second, swap-encumbered (Atlanta holds the right to swap its own 2031 second for Houston's, from the July 2025 seven-team Clint Capela trade; Houston's pick is protected 56-60 and routes to Boston in that range. Atlanta keeps its slot unless it swaps.).
In 2032 the Hawks pick twice: their own first and LAL's second (Atlanta keeps the more favorable of its own and the Lakers' 2032 seconds and Oklahoma City receives the less favorable; if the Lakers' pick is the less favorable it goes to Oklahoma City instead. From the Kennard trade and the July 2026 Aaron Wiggins trade.); they also owe out their own second to OKC (Atlanta keeps the more favorable of its own and the Lakers' 2032 seconds and Oklahoma City receives the less favorable; Atlanta's own slot goes to Oklahoma City only if it is the less favorable of the pair. From the July 2026 Aaron Wiggins trade.).
In 2033 the Hawks hold 3 picks: their own first, their own second, and SAC's second (Sacramento's own second conveyed to Atlanta in the June 2026 Devin Carter salary-dump trade. Unprotected.).
The rule behind this
An unsigned first-round pick charges the team's cap at 120% of his draft slot's rookie-scale salary (because first-rounders may sign for up to 120% of scale, and almost all do).
