What draft picks do the New Orleans Pelicans have?

Through the 2032 draft the Pelicans control 6 first-round picks and 5 second-round picks, with 3 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 5 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Pelicans pick once: DET's second (Detroit's own second conveyed to New Orleans at pick 58, routed via New York, Brooklyn, Phoenix, Orlando, and the Clippers. Tied to the February 2026 Jose Alvarado trade.); they also owe out their own first to ATL (New Orleans's own first conveyed to Atlanta, landing at pick 8, as the more favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2026 firsts. From the June 2025 Derik Queen deal.) and their own second to CHI (New Orleans's own second conveyed to Chicago at pick 38, routed via Boston, Detroit, and Portland.).

In 2027 the Pelicans pick once: their own first, swap-encumbered (New Orleans keeps the more favorable of the New Orleans and Milwaukee 2027 firsts, top-4 protected; the less favorable lands on Milwaukee's slot and goes to Atlanta.); they also owe out their own second to CHA (Charlotte holds the more favorable of the New Orleans and Portland 2027 seconds, no protections, tied to the February 2023 Josh Richardson trade chain.).

In 2028 the Pelicans pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to SAS (Unprotected second owed to San Antonio, February 2023 Josh Richardson trade.).

In 2029 the Pelicans pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to SAS (Unprotected second owed to San Antonio, February 2023 Josh Richardson trade.).

In 2030 the Pelicans pick twice: their own first and their own second, swap-encumbered (ORL holds swap rights from the June 2024 Antonio Reeves draft-night trade.).

In 2031 the Pelicans hold 3 picks: their own first, their own second, swap-encumbered (ORL holds swap rights from the June 2024 Antonio Reeves draft-night trade, with OKC the ultimate recipient of the less favorable of the ORL and NOP seconds.), and TOR's second (Owed to New Orleans in the February 2026 Brandon Ingram acquisition.).

Their 2032 book is clean: their own picks, nothing owed.
