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 sends a 2027 second to UTA instead.), 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 HOU (Owed to Houston, 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).
