Through the 2032 draft the Thunder control 11 first-round picks and 15 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 3 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Thunder hold 3 picks: LAC's first (The Clippers' own first conveyed to Oklahoma City, landing at pick 12, from the October 2023 James Harden trade.), PHI's first (Philadelphia's own first conveyed to Oklahoma City, landing at pick 17, top-4 protected, from the 2020 Al Horford trade; it landed outside the top 4 and conveyed.), and DAL's second (Dallas's own second conveyed to Oklahoma City at pick 37.); they also owe out their own first to DAL (Oklahoma City's own first lands at pick 30 and goes to Dallas. It routed through Washington and Philadelphia, arriving in Dallas from the Anthony Davis trade.) and their own second to WAS (Oklahoma City's own second conveyed to Washington at pick 60, routed via San Antonio and Miami.).

In 2027 the Thunder hold 6 picks: DEN's first (Owed to Oklahoma City, top-5 protected (DEN keeps it only as a top-5 pick), from the 2022 Aaron Gordon and follow-on deals; OKC may further convey to the Clippers. Rolls to a top-5-protected 2028 first if it does not convey.), their own first, swap-encumbered (LAC holds a swap right and OKC takes the better of its own or the DEN 2027 first against the Clippers pick; the own slot is retained pending resolution.), SAS's first (SAS's own 2027 first, acquired by SAC in the February 2025 De'Aaron Fox trade and top-16 protected for SAC, goes to Oklahoma City if it lands 17-30 (the likely outcome) from the June 2025 Nique Clifford draft-day deal; if 1-16 SAC keeps it and owes OKC two 2026 seconds.), HOU's second (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.), MIA's second (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.), and their own second.

In 2028 the Thunder hold 3 picks: their own first, swap-encumbered (DAL holds the right to take the more favorable of the OKC and DAL 2028 firsts; the own slot is retained unless Dallas swaps.), their own second, and UTA's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the Miye Oni deal.).

In 2029 the Thunder hold 6 picks: DEN's first (Owed to Oklahoma City, top-5 protected, from the 2023 Pickett/Strawther/Tyson trade; conditional on the 2027 DEN first having conveyed first, and it rolls to 2030 if it does not convey.), their own first, ATL's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected.), BOS's second (Unprotected second owed to Oklahoma City.), MIA's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump.), and their own second.

In 2030 the Thunder hold 5 picks: their own first, DEN's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected; the contingency payment if the rolling first-round obligation converts.), HOU's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected.), MIA's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump.), and their own second.

In 2031 the Thunder pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to ORL (OKC's own second goes to Orlando, which holds a 2031 swap right with New Orleans and keeps the more favorable while OKC receives the less favorable elsewhere.).

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

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).
