俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和圣安东尼奥马刺队除了都在西部决赛中交手之外，还有一个共同点。
在接下来的八年里，雷霆和马刺总共拥有20个首轮签和30个次轮签，他们也是少数几支掌控着NBA选秀未来的球队。
至于联盟的其他球队，乐透抽签制度的改革可能会影响各队未来对选秀权的估值。
据 ESPN 记者蒂姆·邦唐 (Tim Bontemps) 报道，外界普遍认为 NBA 将在下周的董事会会议上批准“3-2-1”乐透抽签系统。该系统将让多达18支球队都有获得状元签的切实机会，且整个过程的随机性会大大增加。（这一改革将从2027年选秀开始，一直持续到2029年，届时现行的劳资协议将到期。）
规则的彻底改革应该会对那些希望交易未来选秀权以及在之前的交易中获得这些选秀权的球队产生重大影响。目前，有18支球队在接下来的三次选秀中仍欠有首轮签或互换权。
在6月布鲁克林选秀大会到来之前，让我们来盘点一下全部30支球队的未来选秀资产，并将其划分为七个档次。
跳转至球队：
ATL | BOS | BKN | CHA | CHI
CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GS
HOU | IND | LAC | LAL | MEM
MIA | MIL | MIN | NO | NYK
OKC | ORL | PHI | PHX | POR
SAC | SA | TOR | UTAH | WAS
第一档
第一档的球队在今年6月的选秀中拥有选秀权，但更重要的是，他们拥有从先前交易中获得的未来资产。包括俄克拉荷马城和圣安东尼奥在内的这七支球队，从今年6月到2033年共拥有77个首轮签和88个次轮签；这占了未来八年所有选秀权的34%。
布鲁克林篮网
2026年选秀权： 6号签、33号签、43号签（来自快船）
未来引入的首轮签： 13个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 9个
未来次轮签： 19个
篮网在结束本赛季时拥有全联盟最年轻的阵容，现在又在去年选秀中选中的五个首轮秀基础上，增加了一个前六顺位的选秀权。
布鲁克林在未来七年拥有四个无保护首轮签，这些是通过两笔独立的交易获得的（米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 去往尼克斯，以及卡梅隆·约翰逊 (Cameron Johnson) 去往掘金）。其中三个来自纽约（2027年、2029年、2031年），一个来自丹佛（2032年）。
布鲁克林还拥有2028年费城（如果是9-30顺位）、纽约和菲尼克斯之中最有利的选秀权。
美中不足的是？休斯敦拥有明年首轮签的互换权，这是2021年詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 交易的最后一项附加条件。
夏洛特黄蜂
2026年选秀权： 14号签、18号签（来自太阳）
未来引入的首轮签： 10个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 7个
未来次轮签： 14个
黄蜂在去年的选秀中选中了年度最佳新秀评选第二名的康·克努佩尔 (Kon Knueppel)，现在他们可以在未来两年的首轮中选中五名球员。
除了今年6月的两个首轮签外，黄蜂明年可能拥有三个首轮签：他们自己的、来自达拉斯的前二保护选秀权，以及来自迈阿密的前14顺位保护选秀权。（如果未能兑现，热火将送出他们2028年的无保护首轮签。）
黄蜂还拥有2029年克利夫兰、明尼苏达（如果是6-30顺位）和犹他之中最不利的首轮签。
孟菲斯灰熊
2026年选秀权： 3号签、16号签（来自魔术）、32号签（来自步行者）
未来引入的首轮签： 11个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 7个
未来次轮签： 6个
灰熊拥有全联盟最诱人的首轮选秀权储备。除了今年6月的两个前16顺位选秀权外，孟菲斯还拥有通过先前交易获得的四个未来首轮签。
在交易了德斯蒙德·贝恩 (Desmond Bane) 和贾伦·杰克逊 (Jaren Jackson Jr.) 之后，孟菲斯拥有来自湖人的2027年前四保护首轮签，以及克利夫兰、明尼苏达和犹他之中最有利的首轮签。
灰熊还拥有2029年来自魔术的前二保护互换权、2030年来自魔术的无保护首轮签，以及2031年菲尼克斯的无保护首轮签。此外，灰熊在未来七个赛季中都保留着自己的首轮签。
俄克拉荷马城雷霆
2026年选秀权： 12号签（来自快船）、17号签（来自费城）、37号签（来自独行侠）
未来引入的首轮签： 10个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 7个
未来次轮签： 12个
尽管下赛季预计将成为超级奢侈税第二档（second apron）球队，但目前和未来的首轮签应该能让俄克拉荷马城继续保持夺冠热门的地位。
雷霆在今年6月拥有两个前17顺位的首轮签，以及2027年他们自己、丹佛（如果是6-30顺位）和快船之中两个较有利的首轮签。如果马刺的选秀权落在前16顺位之外，俄克拉荷马城还将获得这个来自圣安东尼奥的首轮签。
雷霆拥有2028年与达拉斯互换首轮签的权利，以及2029年来自丹佛的前五保护首轮签。
圣安东尼奥马刺
2026年选秀权： 20号签（来自老鹰）、35号签（来自爵士）、42号签（来自开拓者）、44号签（来自热火）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 14个
马刺选秀资产的优势在于来自亚特兰大的2027年无保护首轮签，以及三个赛季的选秀权互换。圣安东尼奥可以在2028年与波士顿互换首轮签（如果是2-30顺位），在2030年与达拉斯和明尼苏达（如果是2-30顺位）之中最有利的选秀权进行互换，并在同一次选秀中与萨克拉门托进行互换。
犹他爵士
2026年选秀权： 2号签
未来引入的首轮签： 8个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 5个
未来次轮签： 11个
爵士在首轮顺位上升了两位，他们可以选中任何没有被选为状元的球员。
至于未来，犹他虽然为了得到贾伦·杰克逊交易了三个首轮签，但其资产状况依然良好。下赛季，爵士拥有他们自己、克利夫兰和明尼苏达之中第二有利的首轮签。在2028年，他们有权与克利夫兰互换首轮签。在2029年，犹他将获得他们自己、克利夫兰和明尼苏达（如果是6-30顺位）之中最有利的两个首轮签。
犹他欠孟菲斯一个2027年的首轮签，该签将是他们自己、克利夫兰和明尼苏达之中最有利的一个。
华盛顿奇才
2026年选秀权： 1号签、51号签（来自明尼苏达）、60号签（来自俄克拉荷马城）
未来引入的首轮签： 8个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 5个
未来次轮签： 11个
奇才拥有今年选秀大会的状元签，并且拥有大量的未来资产。
除了未来七年他们自己的首轮签外，华盛顿还拥有2028年波士顿、密尔沃基和开拓者之中第二有利的首轮签。在同一年，奇才可以用自己的选秀权与布鲁克林、费城（如果是9-30顺位）和菲尼克斯之中最不利的选秀权进行互换。随后，华盛顿可以用该选秀权去互换密尔沃基和开拓者之中较不利的那一个。在2030年，华盛顿可以与菲尼克斯互换首轮签。
第二档
火箭和开拓者拥有足以跃升至第一档的首轮签资产。但由于这两支球队都交易了本赛季的首轮签，因此被降到了第二档。
休斯敦火箭
2026年选秀权： 39号签（来自公牛）、53号签
未来引入的首轮签： 9个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 6个
未来次轮签： 6个
火箭拥有下赛季与篮网互换首轮签的权利，同时还拥有一张来自菲尼克斯的无保护首轮签。篮网在本赛季常规赛结束时战绩倒数第三，而菲尼克斯则在季后赛首轮出局。
火箭拥有他们自己、达拉斯和菲尼克斯之中两个较有利的首轮签。从2026年选秀大会的第一晚开始，火箭最多可以交易四个他们自己的首轮签。
波特兰开拓者
2026年选秀权： 无
未来引入的首轮签： 8个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 5个
未来次轮签： 7个
开拓者本赛季打进了季后赛，因此将他们自己的首轮签送到了芝加哥。从选秀大会当晚开始，波特兰最多可以交易四个首轮签。
作为达米安·利拉德 (Damian Lillard) 交易的一部分，波特兰控制着雄鹿2028年至2030年的首轮签。开拓者可以在2028年和2030年进行互换，同时还拥有2029年他们自己、波士顿和密尔沃基之中最有利和最不利的首轮签。
由于在去年的首轮选秀中向下交易了五个顺位，波特兰获得了魔术2028年的无保护首轮签。
第三档
这一档包括在未来七年内拥有自己首轮签，但没有通过交易获得任何未来首轮签的球队。
与此同时，老鹰和76人虽然在先前的交易中送出了未来的首轮签，但依然入选了这一档。
亚特兰大老鹰
2026年选秀权： 8号签（来自鹈鹕）、23号签（来自骑士）、57号签（来自凯尔特人）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 8个
老鹰与俄克拉荷马城一起，成为仅有的两支拥有2026年乐透签的季后赛球队。亚特兰大还拥有2027年密尔沃基和新奥尔良之中较不利的首轮签。如果这两支球队在2026-27赛季的战绩排在联盟倒数前四，该选秀权将不会兑现。老鹰还拥有2028年克利夫兰和犹他之中较不利的首轮签。
亚特兰大在德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) 的交易中欠圣安东尼奥一个2027年的无保护首轮签，他们可以从2029年开始交易自己的首轮签。
芝加哥公牛
2026年选秀权： 4号签、15号签、38号签（来自鹈鹕）、56号签（来自掘金）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 12个
凭借一些乐透签的运气，加上开拓者打进季后赛，芝加哥成为唯一在今年6月拥有两个前15顺位选秀权的球队。
新任执行副总裁布赖森·格雷厄姆 (Bryson Graham) 拥有19个未来首轮签，其中包括公牛全部七个自己的首轮签。而在2026年交易截止日期的交易，让芝加哥将其收集的次轮签数量增加到了12个。
底特律活塞
2026年选秀权： 21号签（来自明尼苏达）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 15个
活塞将把21号签加入到一支已经拥有前首轮秀凯德·康宁汉 (Cade Cunningham)、杰伦·杜伦 (Jalen Duren)、奥萨尔·汤普森 (Ausar Thompson)、罗纳德·霍兰二世 (Ronald Holland II) 和马库斯·萨瑟 (Marcus Sasser) 的阵容中。
底特律手握全部七个首轮签（其中四个可以交易），他们可以借此提升阵容。此前，尽管他们赢下了60场比赛，但仍未能打进分区决赛。
金州勇士
2026年选秀权： 11号签、54号签（来自湖人）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 3个
未来次轮签： 2个
金州勇士在未来七年内都拥有自己的首轮签。（其2030年的首轮签将被送往达拉斯，但前提是该签落在前20顺位之外。）
由于球队不被允许在连续的赛季中交易首轮签，金州勇士在单笔交易中最多只能打包三个首轮签：2028年、2030年（如果是1-20顺位）以及2032年。从选秀大会第一晚开始，勇士还可以将11号签的签约权纳入交易。他们被允许在每个赛季进行选秀权互换。
新奥尔良鹈鹕
2026年选秀权： 58号签（来自活塞）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 5个
尽管在今年的选秀中没有自己的首轮签，但新奥尔良的处境依然不错。
新奥尔良将因2020年朱·霍勒迪 (Jrue Holiday) 的交易获得来自密尔沃基的2027年无保护首轮签。（该首轮签只有在落在前五顺位之外时才会兑现，而雄鹿首轮签和鹈鹕自身首轮签中较不利的那一个将送往亚特兰大。）
费城 76人
2026年选秀权： 22号签（来自火箭）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 13个
作为将贾里德·麦凯恩 (Jared McCain) 交易至雷霆的一部分，76人今年收回了一个首轮签。（费城自己的选秀权在过去的交易中与艾尔·霍福德 (Al Horford) 一起被送走了。）
尽管在2028年欠布鲁克林一个前八保护的首轮签，但费城被允许交易自己2027年的首轮签，因为他们拥有来自快船的2028年无保护首轮签。如果76人交易了自己的首轮签，他们将不被允许交易快船的那个首轮签。如果选秀权落在4-30顺位，费城还可以在次年与洛杉矶快船进行互换。这两项选秀资产都是作为詹姆斯·哈登交易的一部分获得的。
萨克拉门托国王
2026年选秀权： 7号签、34号签、45号签（来自黄蜂）
未来引入的首轮签： 9个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 6个
未来次轮签： 2个
萨克拉门托在这份榜单上的排名理应高得多。
国王不仅在未来七年拥有自己的首轮签，还拥有来自明尼苏达的2031年无保护选秀权。
然而，作为德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 交易的一部分而获得的来自圣安东尼奥的2027年首轮签，不太可能兑现。作为去年6月选秀夜与俄克拉荷马城交易的一部分，如果该签落在前17顺位之外，萨克拉门托将把这个马刺的首轮签送给雷霆。
多伦多猛龙
2026年选秀权： 19号签、50号签
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 5个
猛龙在最近的选秀中选中了两名基石球员，先是在2021年选中了斯科蒂·巴恩斯 (Scottie Barnes)，去年又得到了科林·默里-博伊尔斯 (Collin Murray-Boyles)。
他们可以继续通过选秀构建阵容，也可以在交易中使用他们现有的资产。
多伦多是少数几支在未来七年拥有自己首轮签的球队之一，因此，他们最多可以交易其中的四个。
第四档
以下四支球队有一个共同点：尽管达拉斯、迈阿密、密尔沃基和快船在今年6月都拥有一个乐透签，但先前的交易已经剥夺了他们交易未来选秀权的能力。
达拉斯独行侠
2026年选秀权： 8号签、30号签（来自雷霆）、48号签（来自太阳）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 4个
未来次轮签： 5个
新任篮球运营总裁马赛·乌杰里 (Masai Ujiri) 继承了今年选秀大会中的两个首轮签，以及通过独立交易获得的两个未来首轮签。
达拉斯在卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 的交易中获得了湖人2029年的无保护首轮签。独行侠还拥有一个来自金州的2030年前20顺位保护选秀权，该选秀权是在安东尼·戴维斯 (Anthony Davis) 的交易中从华盛顿获得的。
由于之前的四笔交易，独行侠在2031年之前不得交易他们自己的首轮签。
下赛季，他们将向夏洛特送出一个前二保护的首轮签。在2028年，俄克拉荷马城可以互换首轮签。在2029年，独行侠的首轮签将归休斯敦或布鲁克林所有。在2030年，圣安东尼奥可以互换首轮签。
洛杉矶快船
2026年选秀权： 5号签、36号签（来自灰熊）、52号签（来自骑士）
未来引入的首轮签： 7个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 3个
未来次轮签： 4个
快船对他们2027年至2029年的首轮签没有控制权，但就选秀资产而言，他们依然处于令人羡慕的位置。
由于伊维察·祖巴茨 (Ivica Zubac) 的交易（以及极佳的乐透签运气），洛杉矶在今年6月的选秀中拥有5号签，以及来自步行者的2029年无保护首轮签。
但由于哈登的交易，快船仍欠费城三个未来选秀权。下赛季，他们拥有2028年他们自己、丹佛（如果是6-30顺位）和俄克拉荷马城之中最不利的选秀权。在同一次选秀中，费城拥有其无保护的首轮签，并可以在2029年（如果是4-30顺位）进行选秀权互换。
从2030年开始，快船最多可以交易两个首轮签。
迈阿密热火
2026年选秀权： 13号签、41号签（来自勇士）
未来引入的首轮签： 6个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 2个
未来次轮签： 2个
尽管特里·罗齐尔 (Terry Rozier) 已不在阵容中，但从夏洛特交易得到这位后卫的交易仍在继续影响着热火未来的选秀。迈阿密将向夏洛特送出其2027年的选秀权（前14顺位保护）。如果届时未能兑现，该签将在2028年变为无保护。
包括今年选秀大会的13号签（允许在选秀夜交易）在内，迈阿密被允许交易2031年和2033年的首轮签。
热火还被允许在2029年至2033年期间互换首轮签。
密尔沃基雄鹿
2026年选秀权： 10号签
未来引入的首轮签： 5个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 2个
未来次轮签： 1个
霍勒迪和利拉德的交易继续影响着雄鹿未来可交易的首轮签。由于霍勒迪的交易，密尔沃基下赛季将把其2027年的无保护首轮签送往亚特兰大或新奥尔良（鹈鹕拥有其中最有利的一个）。
与此同时，波特兰控制着雄鹿2028年至2030年的首轮签。密尔沃基被允许从2031年开始交易自己的首轮签。
第五档
这一档包括两支在被定性为“过渡年”（gap year）后走向相反方向的东部球队。随着波士顿在季后赛早早出局以及印第安纳在选秀乐透抽签中的惨败，两队在短期内都没有充足的资产。
波士顿凯尔特人
2026年选秀权： 27号签、40号签（来自密尔沃基）
未来引入的首轮签： 6个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 3个
未来次轮签： 5个
由于德里克·怀特 (Derrick White) 的交易，凯尔特人欠圣安东尼奥2028年首轮签的互换权（如果是2-30顺位），并且欠波特兰或华盛顿一个2029年的无保护首轮签。由于该球队在2024-25赛季超过了第二土豪线起征点，波士顿2032年的首轮签已被冻结。
即便受到这些限制，波士顿仍被允许交易2027年、2031年和2033年的未来首轮签。
印第安纳步行者
2026年选秀权： 无
未来引入的首轮签： 6个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 3个
未来次轮签： 7个
步行者以队史最差的胜率结束了常规赛，但在乐透抽签中依然运气不佳。
由于顺位落在前四之外，从而因祖巴茨的交易送给了快船，印第安纳本赛季没有任何选秀权。
由于2026年的首轮签已经兑现，印第安纳被允许交易其2027年、2031年和2033年的首轮签。
第六档
这六支球队都以牺牲多个首轮签为代价，进行了“赢在当下”的交易。
克利夫兰骑士
2026年选秀权： 29号签（来自圣安东尼奥）
未来引入的首轮签： 5个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 1个
未来次轮签： 1个
克利夫兰是另一支因超过第二土豪线而受到影响的球队。由于本赛季的薪资总额，骑士不被允许交易其2033年的首轮签。从选秀大会当晚开始，他们被允许交易29号签选中的球员签约权，以及2031年或2032年的首轮签。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年送至孟菲斯、菲尼克斯或犹他
- 2028年亚特兰大、犹他以及自身之中最不利的选秀权
- 2029年送至犹他或夏洛特
- 2033年因2025-26赛季超过第二土豪线而被冻结
明尼苏达森林狼
2026年选秀权： 28号签（来自底特律）、59号签（来自圣安东尼奥）
未来引入的首轮签： 4个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 1个
未来次轮签： 3个
过去为了得到鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 和前乐透秀阿约·多苏穆 (Ayo Dosunmu) 而做出的举动，极大地削弱了森林狼的选秀资产。明尼苏达在2033年有一个可交易的首轮签，并被允许在两次选秀中（2028年和2033年）互换首轮签。
由于森林狼在2024-25赛季超过了第一土豪线，他们2032年的首轮签已被冻结。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年无保护送至孟菲斯或犹他
- 2029年前五保护送至夏洛特或犹他
- 2030年圣安东尼奥可互换（前二保护）
- 2031年无保护送至萨克拉门托
- 2032年因第二土豪线而被冻结
洛杉矶湖人
2026年选秀权： 25号签
未来引入的首轮签： 5个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 2个
未来次轮签： 1个
先前的交易使湖人在未来七年内仅剩下两个可交易的首轮签（2031年和2033年）。湖人也可以交易2032年的首轮签，但不能与2031年或2033年的打包。他们被允许在五个赛季（2028年、2030年、2031年、2032年和2033年）进行首轮签互换。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年前四保护送至孟菲斯
- 2029年无保护送至达拉斯
纽约尼克斯
2026年选秀权： 24号签、31号签（来自华盛顿）、55号签
未来引入的首轮签： 4个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 1个
未来次轮签： 7个
尽管布鲁克林控制着他们直到2031年的首轮签，但尼克斯仍处于一个独特的地位。从选秀大会第一晚开始，纽约被允许交易24号签的签约权，以及2033年的首轮签。尼克斯可以交易2030年、2032年和2033年的互换权。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年、2029年和2031年无保护送至布鲁克林
- 2028年与布鲁克林互换
奥兰多魔术
2026年选秀权： 46号签
未来引入的首轮签： 5个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 1个
未来次轮签： 6个
由于与孟菲斯关于德斯蒙德·贝恩的交易，魔术对他们自己2028年、2029年和2030年的首轮签没有控制权。他们在未来七年拥有五个首轮签，但只有一个是可交易的（2032年或2033年）。魔术拥有自己2027年的首轮签，但不被允许交易，因为他们欠波特兰次年一个无保护的首轮签。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2028年无保护送至波特兰
- 2029年孟菲斯可互换（前二保护）
- 2030年无保护送至孟菲斯
菲尼克斯太阳
2026年选秀权： 47号签（来自费城）
未来引入的首轮签： 5个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 2个
未来次轮签： 3个
太阳在未来六个赛季都无法控制自己的首轮签，但有两个可用于交易的首轮签。从选秀大会第一晚开始，菲尼克斯被允许交易2027年克利夫兰、明尼苏达和犹他之中最不利的首轮签。
尽管其2032年的首轮签已被冻结（由于在2024-25赛季超过了第二土豪线），菲尼克斯仍被允许交易其2033年的首轮签。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年无保护送至休斯敦
- 2028年布鲁克林、费城（如果是9-30顺位）和华盛顿之中最不利的选秀权
- 2029年无保护送至休斯敦或布鲁克林
- 2030年华盛顿可互换
- 2031年无保护送至孟菲斯
- 2032年因在2024-25赛季超过第二土豪线而被冻结
第七档
丹佛成为我们最底下一档的唯一一支球队，这是有原因的。尽管掘金仍然与全明星球员尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 和贾马尔·默里 (Jamal Murray) 签有合同，但除了今年6月的首轮签外，他们没有任何交易首轮签的灵活性。丹佛是唯一一支没有未来可交易首轮签的球队。
丹佛掘金
2026年选秀权： 26号签、49号签（来自老鹰）
未来引入的首轮签： 4个
未来最大可交易首轮签： 无
未来次轮签： 2个
最近的交易使得丹佛除了今年6月的26号签外，没有其他可交易的首轮签。掘金被允许在2031年和2033年互换选秀权。作为小迈克尔·波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 互换卡梅隆·约翰逊交易的一部分，丹佛将其2032年的首轮签送到了布鲁克林。在两笔独立的交易中，2027年和2029年的前五保护首轮签被送到了俄克拉荷马城。
未来送出的首轮签：
- 2027年前五保护送至俄克拉荷马城（若未能兑现，则变为2028年前五保护首轮签）
- 2029年前五保护送至俄克拉荷马城（若未能兑现，则变为2030年前五保护首轮签）
- 2032年无保护送至布鲁克林

NBA draft 2026: Leaguewide asset rankings – 30 teams, seven tiers
The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs have something in common, other than playing in the Western Conference finals.
With a combined 20 first-round picks and 30 second-round picks over the next eight years, the Thunder and the Spurs are also two of the few franchises controlling the future of the NBA draft.
As for the rest of the league, lottery reform could affect how teams value draft picks in the future.
According to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, there is a belief that the NBA will approve the “3-2-1” lottery system during next week’s board of governors meeting. It would give as many as 18 teams a realistic chance of earning the No. 1 pick, with much more randomness throughout. (The change would start with the 2027 draft and continue through 2029, when the current collective bargaining agreement is set to expire.)
An overhaul of the rules should have a significant impact on teams looking to trade future picks and those that have acquired them in previous trades. Currently, 18 teams have first-rounders or swaps still owed across the next three drafts.
Let’s break down the future draft assets of all 30 teams, divided into seven tiers, leading up to the June draft in Brooklyn.
Jump to a team:
ATL | BOS | BKN | CHA | CHI
CLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GS
HOU | IND | LAC | LAL | MEM
MIA | MIL | MIN | NO | NYK
OKC | ORL | PHI | PHX | POR
SAC | SA | TOR | UTAH | WAS
Tier 1
The top tier features teams with draft picks this June, but more importantly, future assets from previous trades. These seven teams, including Oklahoma City and San Antonio, have 77 first-round and 88 second-round picks from this June until 2033; that’s 34% of the picks over the next eight years.
Brooklyn Nets
2026 picks: No. 6, No. 33, No. 43 (via LAC)
Incoming future first-round picks: 13
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 9
Future second-round picks: 19
The Nets finished the season with the league’s youngest roster and now add a top-six pick to the five first-rounders selected in last year’s draft.
Brooklyn has four unprotected first-rounders over the next seven years, acquired in two separate trades (Mikal Bridges to the Knicks and Cameron Johnson to the Nuggets). Three are from New York (2027, 2029, 2031) and one from Denver in 2032.
Brooklyn also has the most favorable pick in 2028 among Philadelphia (if 9-30), New York and Phoenix.
The downside? Houston has the right to swap picks next year, the final condition from the James Harden trade in 2021.
Charlotte Hornets
2026 draft picks: No. 14, No. 18 (via PHX)
Incoming future first-round picks: 10
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 7
Future second-round picks: 14
Charlotte selected Rookie of the Year runner-up Kon Knueppel in last year’s draft and now can select five players in the first round over the next two years.
Besides having two firsts this June, Charlotte could have three next year; its own, a top-two protected pick from Dallas and a top-14 protected pick from Miami. (If not conveyed, the Heat will send their 2028 unprotected pick.)
Charlotte also has a 2029 least favorable first among Cleveland, Minnesota (if 6-30) and Utah.
Memphis Grizzlies
2026 draft picks: No. 3, No. 16 (via ORL), No. 32 (via IND)
Incoming future first-round picks: 11
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 7
Future second-round picks: 6
The Grizzlies have the league’s most appealing collection of first-round picks. Besides two in the top 16 this June, Memphis has four future firsts from previous trades.
After trading Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis has a 2027 top-four protected first from the Lakers and the most favorable first among Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah.
The Grizzlies also have top-two protected swap rights from Orlando in 2029, an unprotected first from the Magic in 2030 and a 2031 unprotected Phoenix first. The Grizzlies also have their own first in the next seven seasons.
Oklahoma City Thunder
2026 draft picks: No. 12 (via LAC), No. 17 (via PHI), No. 37 (via DAL)
Incoming future first-round picks: 10
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 7
Future second-round picks: 12
Current and future first-round picks should allow Oklahoma City to remain a title favorite despite being a projected second apron team next season.
The Thunder have two firsts in the top 17 this June and two of the more favorable 2027 firsts of their own, Denver (if 6-30) and the Clippers. Oklahoma City also has a first from San Antonio if it falls outside the top 16.
The Thunder have the right to swap firsts from Dallas in 2028 and a 2029 top-five protected first from Denver.
San Antonio Spurs
2026 draft picks: No. 20 (via ATL), No. 35 (via UTAH), No. 42 (via POR), No. 44 (via MIA)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 14
The strength of the Spurs’ draft assets is a 2027 unprotected first from Atlanta and three seasons of pick swaps. San Antonio can swap firsts with Boston in 2028 (if 2-30), with the most favorable of Dallas and Minnesota (if 2-30) in 2030 and then with Sacramento in that same draft.
Utah Jazz
2026 draft picks: No. 2
Incoming future first-round picks: 8
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 5
Future second-round picks: 11
The Jazz moved up two spots in the first round and can draft whoever isn’t selected No. 1.
As for the future, Utah traded three first-round picks for Jaren Jackson Jr., but is still well-positioned with assets. Next season, the Jazz have the second-most favorable first-rounder of their own, Cleveland and Minnesota. In 2028, they have the right to swap firsts with Cleveland. In 2029, Utah will get the two most favorable firsts of their own, Cleveland and Minnesota (if 6-30).
Utah owes Memphis the 2027 most favorable of their own, Cleveland and Minnesota.
Washington Wizards
2026 draft picks: No. 1, No. 51 (via MIN), No. 60 (via OKC)
Incoming future first-round picks: 8
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 5
Future second-round picks: 11
The Wizards have the first pick in this year’s draft and plenty of future assets.
Besides their own firsts in the next seven years, Washington has the second-most favorable 2028 first of Boston, Milwaukee and Portland. In the same year, the Wizards can swap their own pick with the least favorable among Brooklyn, Philadelphia (if 9-30) and Phoenix. Washington can then swap that pick for the least favorable between Milwaukee and Portland. In 2030, Washington can swap firsts with Phoenix.
Tier 2
The Rockets and the Trail Blazers have the first-round equity to jump into the top tier. But because each franchise traded its first for this season, the two are relegated to the second group of teams.
Houston Rockets
2026 draft picks: No. 39 (via CHI), No. 53
Incoming future first-round picks: 9
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 6
Future second-round picks: 6
The Rockets have the right to swap firsts with Brooklyn next season and also possess an unprotected first from Phoenix. The Nets finished the regular season with the third-worst record, and Phoenix lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Houston has two of the more favorable firsts of their own, Dallas and Phoenix. The Rockets are allowed to trade up to four of their own firsts, starting the first night of the 2026 draft.
Portland Trail Blazers
2026 draft picks: None
Incoming future first-round picks: 8
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 5
Future second-round picks: 7
The Trail Blazers made the playoffs this season and sent their own first to Chicago as a result. Starting the night of the draft, Portland can trade up to four firsts.
And as part of the Damian Lillard trade, Portland controls the Bucks’ first-rounders from 2028 to 2030. The Trail Blazers can swap in 2028 and 2030 while also having the most and least favorable 2029 first of their own, Boston and Milwaukee.
From moving back five slots in last year’s first round, Portland has a 2028 unprotected first from Orlando.
Tier 3
This group includes teams that have their own first-round pick for the next seven years but no future firsts acquired in trades.
Meanwhile, the Hawks and the 76ers both make the cut despite trading a future first-rounder in a prior deal.
Atlanta Hawks
2026 draft picks: No. 8 (via NOP), No. 23 (via CLE), No. 57 (via BOS)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 8
The Hawks join Oklahoma City as the only playoff teams with a 2026 lottery pick. Atlanta also has the least favorable first between Milwaukee and New Orleans in 2027. That pick will not convey if either team finishes with a bottom-four record in 2026-27. The Hawks also have the least favorable 2028 first between Cleveland and Utah.
Atlanta, which owes San Antonio its 2027 unprotected first from the Dejounte Murray deal, can trade its own first starting in 2029.
Chicago Bulls
2026 draft picks: No. 4, No. 15, No. 38 (via NOP), No. 56 (via DEN)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 12
With some lottery luck combined with Portland reaching the playoffs, Chicago is the only team with two picks in the top 15 in June.
New executive vice president Bryson Graham has 19 future firsts, including all seven of the Bulls’ own firsts. And trades at the 2026 deadline allowed Chicago to increase its collection of second-round picks to 12.
Detroit Pistons
2026 draft picks: No. 21 (via MIN)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 15
The Pistons will add the 21st pick to a roster that includes former first-rounders Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Ronald Holland II and Marcus Sasser.
With all seven firsts at its disposal (four that can be traded), Detroit can improve a roster that fell short of reaching the conference finals despite winning 60 games.
Golden State Warriors
2026 draft picks: No. 11, No. 54 (via LAL)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 3
Future second-round picks: 2
Golden State has its own first-round pick in the next seven years. (Its 2030 first-rounder will be sent to Dallas, but only if it falls outside of the top 20.)
Because teams are not allowed to trade first-rounders in back-to-back seasons, the maximum number of picks Golden State can include in one trade is three: 2028, 2030 (if 1-20) and 2032. The Warriors can also include the rights to the 11th pick, starting the first night of the draft. They are allowed to swap picks every season.
New Orleans Pelicans
2026 draft picks: No. 58 (via DET)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 5
Despite not having its own first in this year’s draft, New Orleans is well-positioned. New Orleans will receive an unprotected 2027 first from Milwaukee for the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade. The first will convey only if it falls outside of the top five, with the less favorable of the Bucks first and the Pelicans’ own going to Atlanta.)
Philadelphia 76ers
2026 draft picks: No. 22 (via HOU)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 13
The 76ers recouped a first-rounder this year as part of the Jared McCain trade to the Thunder. (Philadelphia’s own pick was sent along with Al Horford in a past trade.)
Despite owing Brooklyn a top-eight protected first in 2028, Philadelphia is allowed to trade its own 2027 first because it has a 2028 unprotected first from the Clippers. The 76ers would not be allowed to trade the Clippers’ first if their own first is moved. Philadelphia can also swap with LA the following year, if the pick is 4-30. Both draft assets were acquired as part of the James Harden trade.
Sacramento Kings
2026 draft picks: No. 7, No. 34, No. 45 (via CHA)
Incoming future first-round picks: 9
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 6
Future second-round picks: 2
Sacramento arguably belongs much higher on this list.
Not only do the Kings have their own first in the next seven years but also a 2031 unprotected pick from Minnesota.
It is unlikely, however, that the 2027 first from San Antonio that was acquired as part of the De’Aaron Fox trade will convey. As part of a draft night trade with Oklahoma City last June, Sacramento will send the Spurs’ first to the Thunder if it falls outside of the top 17.
Toronto Raptors
2026 draft picks: No. 19, No. 50
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 5
The Raptors have drafted two foundational players in recent drafts, first selecting Scottie Barnes in 2021 and last year getting Collin Murray-Boyles. They can continue the trend of building the roster through the draft or use their available assets in a trade.
Toronto is one of a handful of teams that has its own first in the next seven years and as a result, is allowed to trade up to four of them.
Tier 4
There is a common thread among the following four teams: Though Dallas, Miami, Milwaukee and the Clippers each have a lottery pick in June, previous trades have stripped them of tradable future picks.
Dallas Mavericks
2026 draft picks: No. 8, No. 30 (via OKC), No. 48 (via PHX)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 4
Future second-round picks: 5
New president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri inherits two firsts in this year’s draft and two future firsts acquired in separate trades.
Dallas received the Lakers’ 2029 unprotected first in the Luka Doncic trade. The Mavericks also have a 2030 top-20 protected from Golden State that was acquired from Washington in the Anthony Davis trade.
Because of four previous trades, the Mavs are not allowed to trade their own first until 2031.
Next season, they will send a top-two protected first to Charlotte. In 2028, Oklahoma City can swap firsts. In 2029, the Mavs’ first goes to Houston or Brooklyn. In 2030, San Antonio can swap firsts.
LA Clippers
2026 draft picks: No. 5, No. 36 (via MEM), No. 52 (via CLE)
Incoming future first-round picks: 7
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 3
Future second-round picks: 4
The Clippers have no control over their firsts from 2027 to 2029, but they are still in an enviable position in terms of draft assets.
Because of the Ivica Zubac trade (and some major lottery luck), LA has the fifth pick in June’s draft, along with an unprotected 2029 first from the Pacers.
But the Clippers still owe Philadelphia three future picks for the Harden trade. Next season, they have the least favorable 2028 of their own, Denver (if 6-30) and Oklahoma City. In that same draft, Philadelphia has its first-rounder unprotected and can swap picks in 2029 (if 4-30).
Starting in 2030, the Clippers are allowed to trade up to two firsts.
Miami Heat
2026 draft picks: No. 13, No. 41 (via GSW)
Incoming future first-round picks: 6
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 2
Future second-round picks: 2
Even though Terry Rozier is no longer on the roster, the trade to acquire the guard from Charlotte continues to play a role in the Heat’s draft future. Miami will send Charlotte its 2027 pick, top-14 protected. It becomes unprotected in 2028 if not conveyed.
Including the 13th pick in this year’s draft (allowed to move the night of the draft), Miami is allowed to trade a 2031 and 2033 first.
The Heat are allowed to swap firsts also from 2029 to 2033.
Milwaukee Bucks
2026 draft picks: No. 10
Incoming future first-round picks: 5
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 2
Future second-round picks: 1
The Holiday and Lillard trades continue to play a role in the Bucks’ tradable future firsts. Milwaukee will send its 2027 unprotected first to either Atlanta or New Orleans next season because of the Holiday trade (the Pelicans have the most favorable).
Portland, meanwhile, has control of the Bucks’ first from 2028 to 2030. Milwaukee is allowed to trade its own first starting in 2031.
Tier 5
This group includes two Eastern Conference teams that went opposite directions after their “gap year” designations. And following Boston’s early postseason exit and Indiana’s draft lottery disaster, neither is loaded with assets in the near term.
Boston Celtics
2026 draft picks: No. 27, No. 40 (via MIL)
Incoming future first-round picks: 6
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 3
Future second-round picks: 5
The Celtics owe San Antonio the right to swap firsts in 2028 (if 2-30) because of the Derrick White trade and a 2029 unprotected first to either Portland or Washington. Boston’s 2032 first is frozen because the franchise exceeded the second apron threshold in 2024-25.
Even with the restrictions, Boston is allowed to trade future firsts in 2027, 2031 and 2033.
Indiana Pacers
2026 draft picks: None
Incoming future first-round picks: 6
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 3
Future second-round picks: 7
The Pacers finished the regular season with the worst winning percentage in franchise history and were still unlucky in the lottery.
As a result of their first falling outside of the top four, thus conveying to the Clippers as a result of the Ivica Zubac trade, Indiana does not have a pick this season.
Because that 2026 first is conveyed, Indiana is allowed to trade its 2027, 2031 and 2033 first-rounders.
Tier 6
These six teams have made win-now trades at the cost of multiple first-round picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers
2026 draft picks: No. 29 (via SA)
Incoming future first-round picks: 5
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 1
Future second-round picks: 1
Cleveland is another team impacted for exceeding the second apron. Because of their payroll this season, the Cavaliers are not allowed to trade their 2033 first. Starting the night of the draft, they are allowed to trade the rights to the player selected with the 29th pick, along with either a 2031 or 2032 first.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2027 to either Memphis, Phoenix, Utah
- 2028 least favorable of Atlanta, Utah and own
- 2029 to either Utah or Charlotte
- 2033 frozen for exceeding the second apron in 2025-26
Minnesota Timberwolves
2026 draft picks: No. 28 (via DET), No. 59 (via SA)
Incoming future first-round picks: 4
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 1
Future second-round picks: 3
Past moves to acquire Rudy Gobert and former lottery pick Ayo Dosunmu have heavily reduced the Timberwolves’ draft assets. Minnesota has one first available to trade in 2033 and is allowed to swap firsts in two drafts (2028 and 2033).
Because the Timberwolves exceeded the first apron in 2024-25, their 2032 first-rounder is frozen.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2027 unprotected to Memphis or Utah
- 2029 top-five protected to Charlotte or Utah
- 2030 San Antonio can swap (top-two protected)
- 2031 unprotected to Sacramento
- 2032 frozen because of the second apron
Los Angeles Lakers
2026 draft picks: No. 25
Incoming future first-round picks: 5
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 2
Future second-round picks: 1
Previous trades have left the Lakers with two tradable first-round picks (2031 and 2033) in the next seven years. The Lakers can also trade a 2032 first but not combined with 2031 or 2033. They are allowed to swap firsts in five seasons (2028, 2030, 2031, 2032 and 2033).
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2027 top-four protected to Memphis
- 2029 unprotected to Dallas
New York Knicks
2026 draft picks: No. 24, No. 31 (via WAS), No. 55
Incoming future first-round picks: 4
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 1
Future second-round picks: 7
The Knicks are in a unique position, despite Brooklyn controlling their first-round picks until 2031. Starting the first night of the draft, New York is allowed to trade the rights to the 24th pick and also a first in 2033. The Knicks can trade swap rights in 2030, 2032 and 2033.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- Unprotected 2027, 2029 and 2031 to Brooklyn
- 2028 swap with Brooklyn
Orlando Magic
2026 draft picks: No. 46
Incoming future first-round picks: 5
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 1
Future second-round picks: 6
Because of the Desmond Bane trade with Memphis, the Magic do not have control of their own first-round pick in 2028, 2029 and 2030. They have five firsts in the next seven years, but only one is tradable (2032 or 2033). The Magic have their own first in 2027 but are not allowed to trade it because they owe Portland an unprotected first the following year.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2028 unprotected to Portland
- 2029 Memphis can swap (top-two protected)
- 2030 unprotected to Memphis
Phoenix Suns
2026 draft picks: No. 47 (via PHI)
Incoming future first-round picks: 5
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: 2
Future second-round picks: 3
The Suns do not control their own first for the next six seasons, but have two firsts available to trade. Starting the first night of the draft, Phoenix is allowed to trade the 2027 least favorable first of Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah.
And despite its first being frozen in 2032 (a result of being over the second apron in 2024-25), Phoenix is still allowed to trade its 2033 first.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2027 unprotected to Houston
- 2028 least favorable of Brooklyn, Philadelphia (if 9-30) and Washington
- 2029 unprotected to Houston or Brooklyn
- 2030 Washington can swap
- 2031 unprotected to Memphis
- 2032 frozen because of exceeding the second apron in 2024-25
Tier 7
There is a reason Denver is the only team in our bottom tier. Though the Nuggets still have All-Stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray under contract, there is no flexibility to trade a first-rounder other than this June. Denver is the only team with no tradable future firsts.
Denver Nuggets
2026 draft picks: No. 26, No. 49 (via ATL)
Incoming future first-round picks: 4
Maximum tradable future first-round picks: None
Future second-round picks: 2
Recent deals have left Denver without a tradable first-round pick other than No. 26 in June. The Nuggets are allowed to swap picks in 2031 and 2033. Denver sent its 2032 first to Brooklyn as part of the Michael Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson swap. Top-five protected firsts in 2027 and 2029 were sent to Oklahoma City in two separate trades.
Future outgoing first-round picks:
- 2027 top-five protected to Oklahoma City (if not conveyed, it becomes a 2028 top-five protected first)
- 2029 top-five protected to Oklahoma City (if not conveyed, it becomes a 2030 top-five protected first)
- 2032 unprotected to Brooklyn
