Through the 2032 draft the Heat control 6 first-round picks and 2 second-round picks, with 1 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 7 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Heat pick twice: their own first and GSW's second (Golden State's own second conveyed to Miami at pick 41, routed via Charlotte, New York, Oklahoma City, and Atlanta.); they also owe out their own second to SAS (Miami's own second conveyed to San Antonio at pick 44, routed via Indiana.).

In 2027 the Heat owe out their own first to CHA (Top-14 protected first owed to Charlotte from the January 2024 Terry Rozier trade; if it lands 1-14 it does not convey and Charlotte instead gets an unprotected 2028 MIA first.) and 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.).

In 2028 the Heat pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to DET (Owed to Detroit, unprotected, from the 2023 Dewayne Dedmon salary dump.).

In 2029 the Heat pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to OKC (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump.).

In 2030 the Heat pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to OKC (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump.).

In 2031 the Heat pick twice: their own first and their own second, swap-encumbered (Washington holds swap rights on this second inside a Washington, Memphis, and Indiana 2031 pool; Miami keeps its slot only as the least favorable of that group.).

In 2032 the Heat pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to BKN (Traded to Brooklyn with Haywood Highsmith in the August 2025 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).
