What draft picks do the Houston Rockets have?

Through the 2032 draft the Rockets control 7 first-round picks and 5 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 6 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Rockets pick twice: CHI's second (Chicago's own second conveyed to Houston at pick 39, routed via Washington.) and their own second; they also owe out their own first to PHI (Houston's own first went to Oklahoma City in the July 2019 Westbrook for Chris Paul deal, top-4 protected, then to Philadelphia in the February 2026 Jared McCain trade. It landed at pick 22 and conveyed to Philadelphia.).

In 2027 the Rockets pick twice: their own first, swap-encumbered (BKN holds the right to swap its 2027 first for HOU's; HOU keeps the slot unless Brooklyn exercises. From the June 2024 Nets-Rockets deal.) and MEM's second (Owed to Houston, unprotected.); they also owe out their own second to OKC (OKC holds the least favorable, and PHI the most favorable, of the OKC/HOU/IND/MIA 2027 seconds under a February 2026 multi-team arrangement.).

Their 2028 book is clean: their own picks, nothing owed.

In 2029 the Rockets hold 3 picks: DAL's first (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.), their own first, swap-encumbered (HOU receives the best of its own, the DAL, and the PHX 2029 firsts, all acquired from Brooklyn in the June 2024 trade; the own slot is retained pending that resolution.), and SAC's second (Owed to Houston, unprotected.); they also owe out their own second to DAL (Owed to Dallas, routed through Oklahoma City and Washington.).

In 2030 the Rockets pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to OKC (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected.).

In 2031 the Rockets pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to BOS (Owed to Boston, protected 31-55; an Atlanta swap right on the 31-55 range is reported on the same slot from a single mirror.).

In 2032 the Rockets pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to CHI (Chicago takes the more favorable of the Houston and Phoenix 2032 seconds; the less favorable goes to Phoenix and then on to Minnesota.).
