Checking in on the Thunder's future draft assets
Sep 20, 2026 2:19 AM
For a while during the rebuild, there was a time when a lot of sicko fans could have probably told you the exact number of first-round picks the Thunder had, along with the protections, the years they were owed, and who originally owned the pick.
As time has gone on, the focus has shifted to the on-court product and the players currently on the roster, but that doesn't mean Sam Presti hasn't continued to stockpile assets for the future in the background.
I thought it would be nice to give a little bit of an update on all the first-round picks OKC currently possesses.
2027:
- Spurs' pick (protected 1-16)
- Nuggets' pick (protected 1-5)
- Swap rights with the Clippers (unprotected)
- OKC's own first-round pick
2028:
- Swap rights with the Mavericks (unprotected)
- OKC's own first-round pick
2029:
- Nuggets pick (protected 1-5 and will only convey if the 2027 pick did not)
- OKC's own first-round pick
2030:
- OKC's own first-round pick
2031:
- OKC's own first-round pick
2032:
- OKC's own first-round pick
2033:
- OKC's own first-round pick
