Through the 2033 draft the Grizzlies control 15 first-round picks and 8 second-round picks. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033. 7 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Grizzlies hold 4 picks: their own first, MIN's first (Minnesota's own first conveyed to Detroit via the Mike Conley pick-swap chain, landing at pick 21; on draft night Detroit traded it to Memphis to move up, and Memphis selected Karim Lopez at 21.), PHX's first (Phoenix's own first conveyed to Memphis, landing at pick 16, routed via Orlando from the Desmond Bane trade chain. Phoenix has no 2026 first.), and IND's second (Indiana's own second conveyed to Memphis at pick 32, routed via Milwaukee.); they also owe out their own second to LAC (Memphis's own second conveyed to the Clippers at pick 36, routed via Atlanta and Utah.).

In 2027 the Grizzlies hold 3 picks: LAL's first (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.), their own first, and UTA's first (MEM gets the most favorable of the UTA, MIN, and CLE 2027 firsts from the February 2026 Jaren Jackson Jr. trade, unprotected. UTA is the weakest of the trio so its own slot is the one projected to land most favorable and convey to Memphis; UTA keeps the MIN slot as the second most favorable and PHX takes CLE as the least favorable.); they also owe out their own second to CHA (Memphis's own second, owed to Houston then sent on to Charlotte in the July 2026 Dorian Finney-Smith trade.).

In 2028 the Grizzlies pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2029 the Grizzlies hold 3 picks: their own first, HOU's second (Owed to Memphis, acquired by Dallas via Oklahoma City and Washington then sent on to Memphis in the July 2026 six-team Khris Middleton trade.), and LAL's second (Owed to Memphis, routed via Washington, which sent it on in the July 2026 six-team Khris Middleton trade.); they also owe out their own second to BKN (Owed to Brooklyn, unprotected.).

In 2030 the Grizzlies hold 4 picks: GSW's first (Golden State's first is top-20 protected and conveys only if it lands 21-30; if it lands 1-20 Golden State instead sends its 2030 second. Routed to Washington then Dallas, and on to Memphis in the July 2026 six-team trade.), their own first, ORL's first (Unprotected first owed to Memphis from the June 2025 Desmond Bane trade.), and GSW's second (Owed to Memphis only if the 2030 first stays top-20 and does not convey; the conditional second travels with the first, sent to Memphis in the July 2026 six-team trade.); they also owe out their own second to MIN (Owed to Minnesota, protected 31-50.).

In 2031 the Grizzlies pick twice: their own first and PHX's first (Unprotected first traded to UTA in the January 2025 Jazz-Suns deal, then to Memphis in the February 2026 Jaren Jackson Jr. trade. PHX has no 2031 first.); they also owe out their own second to DET (Sent from MEM to DET in a reported trade on 2026-07-13, pending the ledger update. Previously: Memphis's own second sits in the Indiana, Miami, Memphis 2031 pool: Washington takes the more favorable of the Indiana and Miami seconds, Memphis the more favorable of its own or the less favorable of that pair, and Indiana the least of the three. Memphis holds a swap right and retains its slot pending resolution.).

In 2032 the Grizzlies pick twice: their own first and GSW's second (Owed to Memphis, protected 31-50 (conveys only if it lands 51-60).); they also owe out their own second to DET (Sent from MEM to DET in a reported trade on 2026-07-13, pending the ledger update.).

In 2033 the Grizzlies hold 4 picks: their own first, their own second, OKC's second (Oklahoma City's own second conveyed to Memphis in the June 2026 draft-night trade to move up for Bennett Stirtz.), and WAS's second (Washington's own second owed to Memphis in the July 2026 six-team Khris Middleton trade.).

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).
