How many future draft picks do the Bucks have after Giannis trade to Heat?

[ASFN Admin]

The Milwaukee Bucks replenished their war chest of future draft picks late June 22 by agreeing to trade superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, acquiring multiple picks from the Miami Heat.

Previously, the Bucks had traded control of their draft classes through 2030 to New Orleans and Portland in deals for Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard.

Let’s take a look at what the Bucks’ future draft assets look like:

2026​

• First-round pick, No. 10. This first-round pick was the Bucks’ own this year, which they kept control of after winning this placement in the NBA draft lottery. Had the team moved lower in the draft order ahead of Atlanta (which won the No. 8 pick), the Bucks would have swapped draft positions as a result of the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade. New Orleans originally owned the swap rights to this pick but traded it to Atlanta in a 2025 deal.
• First-round pick, No. 13. The Bucks acquired this selection from Miami as part of the Antetokounmpo trade. Note: The Heat will make the selection June 23 as the trade won't be final until July 6.
• No second-round pick as the Bucks’ original selection was traded to Orlando in the 2020 Jordan Nwora deal. The Bucks possessed a different second-round pick from Utah that was top-55 protected (out of 60 selections), so the pick did not convey to Milwaukee.

2027​

None.

• The first-round pick was initially traded to the Pelicans outright and is the last part of compensation owed for the Holiday trade. New Orleans traded this pick, with conditions, to Atlanta in a separate deal.
• The Bucks’ original second-rounder went to Philadelphia in the 2024 trade for Patrick Beverley.

2028​

• First-round pick, but Portland has the right to swap as part of the 2023 trade for Damian Lillard. The Bucks also added a second swap with Washington as part of the 2024 Khris Middleton trade.For instance, if the Bucks are 20th, the Blazers 21st and the Wizards 22nd, the Blazers will swap to 20 and the Wizards will swap to 21, leaving the Bucks at 22. If Portland and Washington are both worse than Milwaukee, the Bucks will keep their original pick.
• No second-round pick as the Bucks’ original selection was traded to Brooklyn in the 2023 Jae Crowder deal.

2029​

None.

• Portland owns the Bucks’ first-round pick outright in the Lillard deal.
• Brooklyn owned the original second-round pick in the Crowder deal.

2030​

• First-round pick, but Portland has the right to swap as part of the 2023 trade for Lillard.
• First-round pick, but with the right to swap with Miami.
• No second-round pick as the original selection was traded to Orlando as part of a 2023 draft-day trade for Andre Jackson Jr.

2031​

• Control of own first-round pick.
• Control of Miami's first-round pick.
• No second-round pick as the original selection was part of the 2025 trade of Pat Connaughton to Charlotte.

2032​

• Control of own first-round pick.
• No second-round pick as the original selection was part of the 2025 trade of Pat Connaughton to Charlotte.

2033​

• Control of own first-round pick.
• Control of Miami's first-round pick.
