The OKC Thunder is looking to win its first championship in franchise history this postseason.
But that doesn't mean the team isn't also looking toward the future. OKC has a wealth of draft capital, and that includes four first-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Here's a look at each of OKC's 2025 first-round picks and which ones will convey:

OKC owns its first-round pick. It can swap with either Houston (top-10 protected) or the Los Angeles Clippers (unprotected).
The Thunder will swap its No. 30 pick with the Clippers, who have a pick in the No. 22-25 range. There's a four-way tie between the Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets that'll be settled by coin flips.
OKC owns Miami's first-round pick, which is top-14 protected. It'll convey because the Heat secured the East's No. 8 seed in the playoffs.
OKC has acquired Miami's No. 15 pick.
OKC owns Utah's first-round pick, which is top-10 protected. It won't convey because the Jazz is guaranteed to have a top-five pick.
The pick will become top-eight protected in 2026. If it doesn't convey by then, Utah will owe OKC its 2028 second-round pick.
OKC owns Philadelphia's first-round pick, which is top-six protected.
Philadelphia has the fifth-best odds in the draft and a 64% chance of retaining its pick, according to Tankathon. But its most likely landing spot is pick No. 7 (26.7%).
If Philadelphia does retain its pick this year, it'll become a top-four protected pick in 2026 and 2027. If it doesn't convey by then, Philadelphia will owe OKC its 2027 second-round pick.
