Through the 2032 draft the Bucks control 5 first-round picks and 0 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2028, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 9 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Bucks pick once: their own first (Milwaukee keeps its own first at pick 10. Atlanta took the more favorable of the Milwaukee and New Orleans 2026 firsts, which resolved to the New Orleans slot, so Milwaukee's own pick stayed put.); they also owe out their own second to BOS (Milwaukee's own second conveyed to Boston at pick 40, routed via Orlando.).

In 2027 the Bucks owe out their own first to ATL (Atlanta receives the less favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2027 firsts, top-4 protected; New Orleans keeps the more favorable on its own slot. From the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade and the Dejounte Murray obligation.) and their own second to DET (Routed Milwaukee to Philadelphia and on to Detroit, terminal in Detroit, from the February 2025 KJ Martin Jr. trade.).

In 2028 the Bucks pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (POR holds swap rights from the September 2023 Damian Lillard trade; Washington holds a second-priority swap behind Portland. One mirror reports the Portland right as protected 15-30 conditional on Portland not having conveyed a first to Chicago by 2027, rather than fully unprotected.); they also owe out their own second to PHI (Unprotected second owed to Philadelphia from the February 2026 Jared McCain trade chain; a conflicting OKC claim is the weaker reporting.).

In 2029 the Bucks owe out their own first to POR (Unprotected first owed to Portland from the September 2023 Damian Lillard trade.) and their own second to DET (Unprotected second owed to Detroit.).

In 2030 the Bucks pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (POR holds unprotected swap rights from the September 2023 Damian Lillard trade.); they also owe out their own second to ORL (Unprotected second owed to Orlando, sent for pick 36 in the 2023 draft.).

In 2031 the Bucks pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to CHA (Owed to Charlotte from the Pat Connaughton (Vasilije Micic) deal.).

In 2032 the Bucks pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to CHA (Owed to Charlotte from the Pat Connaughton deal.).

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).
