Portland Trail Blazers
This includes a projected signing that is not yet official, so these figures are an estimate.
Through the 2033 draft the Trail Blazers control 10 first-round picks and 7 second-round picks, with 1 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033. 4 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.
In 2026 the Trail Blazers owe out their own first to CHI (Portland's own first conveyed to Chicago, landing at pick 15, from the 2021 Larry Nance Jr. three-team deal once the lottery protection lapsed.) and their own second to SAS (Portland's own second conveyed to San Antonio at pick 42, routed via New Orleans.).
In 2027 the Trail Blazers hold 3 picks: their own first, MIN's second (Unprotected second owed to Portland, acquired in a 2024 three-team trade.), and their own second (Charlotte takes the more favorable of the New Orleans and Portland 2027 seconds and Portland keeps the less favorable, which Portland may convey on to Houston, protected 31-55. There is no Charlotte-Portland swap.).
In 2028 the Trail Blazers hold 4 picks: ORL's first (Unprotected first owed to Portland, acquired by POR via Memphis in 2025 draft compensation.), their own first, their own second, and SAC's second (Owed to Portland, unprotected.).
In 2029 the Trail Blazers hold 3 picks: BOS's first (Boston's first sits in the Portland, Boston, Milwaukee 2029 pool: Portland keeps the most and least favorable of the three and Washington receives the second most favorable, so Boston's slot conveys to Washington only if it is the middle pick. From the October 2023 Jrue Holiday acquisition and the July 2024 Deni Avdija trade.), MIL's first (Portland keeps the most and least favorable of its own, Boston's, and Milwaukee's 2029 firsts and Washington receives the second most favorable; Milwaukee's first conveys to Washington only if it is the middle pick, otherwise to Portland. From the September 2023 Damian Lillard trade and the July 2024 Deni Avdija trade.), and their own first, swap-encumbered (Portland keeps the most and least favorable of its own, Boston's, and Milwaukee's 2029 firsts and Washington receives the second most favorable of the three; Portland's own slot conveys to Washington only if it is the middle pick. From the July 2024 Deni Avdija trade.); they also owe out their own second to DET (Sent from MEM to DET in a reported trade on 2026-07-13, pending the ledger update. Previously: Unprotected second owed to Memphis.).
In 2030 the Trail Blazers pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to BOS (Boston takes the most favorable of the Phoenix, Portland, and Washington 2030 seconds, Philadelphia the middle, and Washington the less favorable of Phoenix and Portland; Portland's own slot conveys within that pool. From the 2024 Deni Avdija trade and the July 2026 Jaylen Brown trade.).
Their 2031 through 2033 books are 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).
