Through the 2032 draft the Mavericks control 8 first-round picks and 6 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 8 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Mavericks hold 3 picks: their own first, OKC's first (Oklahoma City's own first lands at pick 30 and goes to Dallas. It routed through Washington and Philadelphia, arriving in Dallas from the Anthony Davis trade.), and PHX's second (Phoenix's own second conveyed to Dallas at pick 48, routed via Washington.); they also owe out their own second to OKC (Dallas's own second conveyed to Oklahoma City at pick 37.).

In 2027 the Mavericks pick once: CHI's second (Acquired by Dallas in the February 2026 Anthony Davis trade; CHI's 2027 second had been routed through Washington.); they also owe out their own first to CHA (Owed to Charlotte, protected 1-2; if DAL picks 1 or 2 the first does not convey and Charlotte instead receives a Miami 2028 second. From the February 2024 PJ Washington trade.) and their own second to DET (Owed to Washington or Detroit; Detroit is credited with a BKN-or-DAL 2027 second from the 2021 DeAndre Jordan trade, recipient set at conveyance.).

In 2028 the Mavericks pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (OKC holds the right to swap its 2028 first for DAL's, acquired February 2024.); they also owe out their own second to IND (Owed to Indiana, unprotected.).

In 2029 the Mavericks pick twice: LAL's first (Traded to Dallas, unprotected, in the February 2025 Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade.) and HOU's second (Owed to Dallas, routed through Oklahoma City and Washington.); they also owe out their own first to HOU (HOU takes the two most favorable of the DAL, PHX, and HOU 2029 firsts and BKN keeps the least favorable; HOU controls DAL's slot via the June 2024 Rockets-Nets trade.) and their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2030 the Mavericks hold 4 picks: their own first, swap-encumbered (San Antonio holds the right to take the most favorable of the San Antonio, Dallas, and Minnesota 2030 firsts (Minnesota protected 1); Dallas keeps its slot unless San Antonio swaps for it. From the Grant Williams and Rob Dillingham deals.), GSW's first (GSW's first is top-20 protected and conveys to Dallas only if it lands 21-30; if it lands 1-20 GSW instead sends its 2030 second. Routed GSW to WAS in the Poole/Paul deal, then to DAL in the February 2026 Anthony Davis trade.), GSW's second (Owed to Dallas only if the 2030 first stays top-20 and does not convey.), and PHI's second (Owed to Dallas from a 2025 trade involving Caleb Martin and Quentin Grimes.); they also owe out their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2031 the Mavericks pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to DET (Owed to Detroit, unprotected.).

Their 2032 book is clean: their own picks, nothing owed.

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).
