Phoenix Suns
Through the 2032 draft the Suns control 6 first-round picks and 7 second-round picks, with 3 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, and 2032. 3 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.
In 2026 the Suns pick once: PHI's second (Philadelphia's own second conveyed to Phoenix at pick 47, routed via Houston and Oklahoma City.); they also owe out their own first to MEM (Phoenix's own first conveyed to Memphis, landing at pick 16, routed via Orlando from the Desmond Bane trade chain. Phoenix has no 2026 first.) and their own second to DAL (Phoenix's own second conveyed to Dallas at pick 48, routed via Washington.).
In 2027 the Suns hold 3 picks: CLE's first (Part of the UTA/MIN/CLE 2027 first-round pool. PHX gets the least favorable of the three from the January 2025 Jazz-Suns deal, and CLE is the strongest of the trio so its slot is the one projected to land least favorable and convey to Phoenix. CLE's first entered the pool unprotected in the September 2022 Donovan Mitchell trade.), their own first, and their own second.
In 2028 the Suns pick twice: their own first, swap-encumbered (WAS and BKN hold swap rights tied to the Beal and Bridges deals; PHX ends with the least favorable of the PHX, WAS, BKN, and possibly PHI 2028 firsts, and currently holds the slot pending resolution.) and their own second.
In 2029 the Suns pick twice: their own first, swap-encumbered (HOU takes the two most favorable of the HOU, DAL, and PHX 2029 firsts and PHX keeps the least favorable; the own slot is retained pending that resolution. PHX has no claim in the UTA/CLE/MIN 2029 pool, where CHA gets the least favorable via the Mark Williams trade.) and their own second.
In 2030 the Suns pick twice: their own first, swap-encumbered (WAS and MEM hold swap rights from the Beal and Bane deals; PHX ends with the least favorable of the PHX, WAS, and MEM 2030 firsts and holds the slot pending resolution.) and their own second.
In 2031 the Suns pick once: their own second; they also owe out their own first to MEM (Unprotected first traded to UTA in the January 2025 Jazz-Suns deal, then to Memphis in the February 2026 Jaren Jackson Jr. trade. PHX has no 2031 first.).
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).
