What draft picks do the Los Angeles Lakers have?

Through the 2033 draft the Lakers control 4 first-round picks and 3 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2028, 2030, and 2032. 12 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Lakers pick once: NYK's first (New York's own first (pick 24) traded to the Lakers on 2026 draft night; Los Angeles selected Cameron Carr.); they also owe out their own first to DAL (The Lakers' own first (pick 25) traded to Dallas on 2026 draft night; Dallas selected Sergio de Larrea.) and their own second to GSW (The Lakers' own second conveyed to Golden State at pick 54, routed via Toronto, Miami, and Cleveland. From the February 2026 Trayce Jackson-Davis trade.).

In 2027 the Lakers owe out their own first to MEM (Top-4 protected first traded to UTA in the February 2023 Westbrook deal, then to Memphis in the February 2026 Jaren Jackson Jr. trade; if it lands 1-4 LAL instead conveys a 2027 second to Memphis, routed via Utah.) and their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected. The non-conveyance package the Lakers owe if the 2027 first stays top-4 protected runs to Memphis, not Utah.).

In 2028 the Lakers pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (Utah holds the right to swap its own 2028 first for the Lakers', from the July 2026 Walker Kessler sign-and-trade, folding the Lakers into Utah's existing 2028 swap pool. The Lakers keep the slot unless Utah swaps.); they also owe out their own second to ORL (Owed to Orlando or Washington; Orlando is credited with the more favorable of the LAL and WAS 2028 seconds.).

In 2029 the Lakers owe out their own first to DAL (Traded to Dallas, unprotected, in the February 2025 Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade.) and their own second to MEM (Owed to Memphis, routed via Washington, which sent it on in the July 2026 six-team Khris Middleton trade.).

In 2030 the Lakers pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (Utah holds the right to swap its own 2030 first for the Lakers', from the July 2026 Walker Kessler sign-and-trade. The Lakers keep the slot unless Utah swaps.); they also owe out their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2031 the Lakers pick once: WAS's second (Washington's own second owed to the Lakers in the July 2026 Deandre Ayton for Jaden Hardy trade.); they also owe out their own first to UTA (Owed to Utah, unprotected, in the July 2026 Walker Kessler sign-and-trade.) and their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2032 the Lakers pick twice: their own first and WAS's second (Washington's own second owed to the Lakers in the July 2026 Deandre Ayton for Jaden Hardy trade.); they also owe out their own second to ATL (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.).

In 2033 the Lakers pick once: their own second; they also owe out their own first to UTA (Owed to Utah, unprotected, in the July 2026 Walker Kessler sign-and-trade.).
