Through the 2032 draft the Wizards control 7 first-round picks and 11 second-round picks, with 1 tied up in swap rights. Their firsts land in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, and 2032. 2 of their own picks are owed elsewhere.

In 2026 the Wizards hold 3 picks: their own first, MIN's second (Minnesota's own second conveyed to Washington at pick 51, routed via Detroit and New York.), and OKC's second (Oklahoma City's own second conveyed to Washington at pick 60, routed via San Antonio and Miami.); they also owe out their own second to NYK (Washington's own second conveyed to New York at pick 31, routed via Oklahoma City and Houston.).

In 2027 the Wizards pick twice: their own first and BKN's second (Owed to Washington or Detroit; the exact conditions are not detailed.); they also owe out their own second to NYK (WAS's own second went to New York in the same substitution package triggered by the 2026 first-round protection.).

In 2028 the Wizards hold 3 picks: their own first, swap-encumbered (WAS can swap its 2028 first for the less favorable of the MIL and POR 2028 firsts (Portland has first swap priority on Milwaukee); its own slot is retained. From the Lillard and Khris Middleton trades.), DEN's second (Owed to Washington, protected 31-33 (DEN keeps it only if it lands 31-33).), and their own second.

In 2029 the Wizards hold 3 picks: their own first, LAL's second (Owed to Washington, unprotected.), and their own second.

Their 2030 through 2031 books are clean: their own picks, nothing owed.

In 2032 the Wizards hold 3 picks: their own first, UTA's second (Owed to Washington, unprotected, from the Walt Clayton Jr. deal.), and their own second.

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).
