Oklahoma City Thunder
This includes a projected signing that is not yet official, so these figures are an estimate.
Through the 2033 draft the Thunder control 11 first-round picks and 16 second-round picks, with 2 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033. 5 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.
In 2026 the Thunder pick twice: LAC's first (The Clippers' own first conveyed to Oklahoma City, landing at pick 12, from the October 2023 James Harden trade.) and DAL's second (Dallas's own second conveyed to Oklahoma City at pick 37.); they also owe out their own first to PHX (Oklahoma City's own first landed at pick 30. Dallas held it (from the Anthony Davis trade, routed via Washington and Philadelphia) but traded it on 2026 draft night to Phoenix, which selected Koa Peat.) 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 3 picks: DEN's first (Owed to Oklahoma City, top-5 protected (DEN keeps it only as a top-5 pick), from the June 2022 JaMychal Green draft-night salary dump to Oklahoma City; 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.), and 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 instead conveys its own 2027 second plus Charlotte's 2027 second to Oklahoma City.); they also owe out their own second to PHI (Oklahoma City's own second sits in the OKC, HOU, IND, MIA 2027 pool: Philadelphia takes the most favorable, New Orleans the second, New York the third, San Antonio the more favorable of its own or the least of the four, and Miami the least of five. Oklahoma City keeps none; its own slot routes via Oklahoma City to Philadelphia.).
In 2028 the Thunder pick twice: their own first, swap-encumbered (Oklahoma City holds the right to swap its own 2028 first for Dallas's, from the February 2024 deal. Oklahoma City keeps its slot unless it exercises against Dallas's.) and UTA's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, from the Miye Oni deal.); they also owe out their own second to PHI (Oklahoma City's own second went to Philadelphia in the February 2026 Jared McCain trade and now sits in a pool from the July 2026 Jaylen Brown trade: Boston takes the most favorable of the Golden State, Milwaukee, and Oklahoma City 2028 seconds, Philadelphia keeps the two least favorable.).
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 (Charlotte receives the more favorable of Atlanta's and Miami's 2029 seconds and Oklahoma City the less favorable, from the February 2026 Ousmane Dieng trade; Atlanta's slot lands with Oklahoma City if it is the less favorable, otherwise Charlotte.), BOS's second (Unprotected second owed to Oklahoma City.), MIA's second (Charlotte receives the more favorable of Atlanta's and Miami's 2029 seconds and Oklahoma City the less favorable, from the February 2026 Ousmane Dieng trade; Miami's slot lands with Oklahoma City if it is the less favorable, otherwise Charlotte. Origin in the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump.), and their own second.
In 2030 the Thunder hold 7 picks: their own first, ATL's second (Owed to Oklahoma City, unprotected, in the June 2026 Aaron Wiggins trade.), DEN's second (Memphis takes the most favorable of the Denver, Houston, and Miami 2030 seconds and Oklahoma City the second most and least; Denver's slot goes to Memphis if it is the most favorable, otherwise Oklahoma City. From the June 2026 Memphis-Oklahoma City trade.), HOU's second (Memphis takes the most favorable of the Denver, Houston, and Miami 2030 seconds and Oklahoma City the second most and least favorable; Houston's own second goes to Memphis if it is the most favorable of the three, otherwise Oklahoma City. From the June 2026 Memphis-Oklahoma City trade.), MIA's second (Memphis takes the most favorable of the Denver, Houston, and Miami 2030 seconds and Oklahoma City the second most and least; Miami's slot goes to Memphis if it is the most favorable, otherwise Oklahoma City. From the 2023 Victor Oladipo salary dump and the June 2026 Memphis-Oklahoma City trade.), MIN's second (Unprotected second, owed to Detroit in the Monte Morris trade then flipped to Oklahoma City in the July 2026 Isaiah Joe trade.), and their own second.
In 2031 the Thunder hold 3 picks: their own first, DET's second (Detroit's own second owed to Oklahoma City in the July 2026 Isaiah Joe trade.), and their own second.
In 2032 the Thunder hold 3 picks: their own first, ATL's second (Atlanta keeps the more favorable of its own and the Lakers' 2032 seconds and Oklahoma City receives the less favorable; Atlanta's own slot goes to Oklahoma City only if it is the less favorable of the pair. From the July 2026 Aaron Wiggins trade.), and their own second.
In 2033 the Thunder pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to MEM (Oklahoma City's own second conveyed to Memphis in the June 2026 draft-night trade to move up for Bennett Stirtz.).
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).
