Through the 2032 draft the Kings control 8 first-round picks and 5 second-round picks, with 1 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 4 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Kings hold 3 picks: their own first, CHA's second (Charlotte's own second conveyed to Sacramento at pick 45, routed via San Antonio, Atlanta, and New York.), and their own second.

In 2027 the Kings hold 3 picks: their own first, CHA's second (Unprotected second owed to Sacramento.), and their own second.

In 2028 the Kings pick once: their own first; they also owe out their own second to POR (Owed to Portland, unprotected.).

In 2031 the Kings pick twice: MIN's first (Unprotected first owed to Sacramento, acquired in the February 5 2025 De'Aaron Fox three-team trade; originated in the June 2024 Rob Dillingham draft-night trade to San Antonio.) and their own first, swap-encumbered (SAS holds an unprotected swap right and takes the more favorable of the SAC and SAS 2031 firsts, from the summer 2024 DeMar DeRozan sign-and-trade.); they also owe out their own second to SAS (Owed to San Antonio, unprotected.).

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).
