Do Mavs have draft picks available post-Kyrie Irving trade to upgrade around Luka Doncic?

While many watch to see how Dallas’ leadership will leverage future draft assets now and in the offseason, here’s a breakdown of the Mavericks’ stash of draft picks — or lack thereof — from this season until 2030.

2023

First round: None, unless the Mavs miss the playoffs and receive a top-10 lottery pick.

Second round: None

Four years and one front-office overhaul after the January 2019 Kristaps Porzingis trade, the Mavericks could finally finish paying their debt to the New York Knicks with a second and final first-round pick.

But the pick has lottery protection, so if Dallas misses the playoffs and lands a top-10 lottery pick, the Mavericks would keep it.

The selection then would convey to the Knicks in 2024 or 2025, though in both years it’s still top-10 protected. If it hasn’t been conveyed by 2025, New York gets Dallas’ second-round pick that year.

Buckle up for the chaos that is the second-round fallout.

The Mavericks at one point held two second-round picks in 2023 — their own and Miami’s, which Dallas received when it traded A.J. Hammons to the Heat in 2017.

They now possess neither.

The Grizzlies will receive the lower of those two spots as part of the 2019 sign-and-trade for Delon Wright, and Memphis might then send the pick to the Boston Celtics as part of a November 2020 deal that depends on protections to the Houston Rockets’ second-round pick.

The Mavericks will also send the better of the two second rounders to Oklahoma City as part of their three-team trade with the Thunder and Pistons to acquire James Johnson in November 2020. Oklahoma City could then send the pick to the Nuggets if the draft order meets certain conditions from a June 2023 trade with Denver.

Whew.

2024

First round: One, unless the Mavs miss the playoffs in 2023 and it conveys to the Knicks.

Second round: None

The Mavericks haven’t traded a first-round pick beyond their 2023 cap to the original Porzingis deal, and the NBA does not permit teams to trade first rounders in consecutive years before draft night.

Their second-round selection in 2024 will go to the Sacramento Kings as the first of two they used to move back into the 2022 second round to select Jaden Hardy.

2025

First round: One, unless the Mavs miss the playoffs in 2023 and 2024 and it conveys to the Knicks.

Second round: One, unless the Mavs miss the playoffs in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and it conveys to the Knicks.

The Mavericks still hold the rights to both of their 2025 draft picks —for now.

2026

First round: One

Second round: None

The Mavericks will send their second-round pick this year to the Thunder to cap their payout for the November 2020 James Johnson trade. Oklahoma City could then move that pick to Miami or Houston, depending on draft order and conditions from their more recent trades.

Also of note in this offseason: Doncic’s rookie supermax extension includes a player option in the final year, for the 2026-27 offseason. That means he could opt to enter the open market as early as Summer 2026.

2027

First round: One

Second round: None

Dallas’ 2027 second-round pick was used in the Kyrie Irving trade. Don’t expect the remaining first-rounder to stay in the Mavericks’ possession until 2027 as general manager Nico Harrison and Co. operate in win-now mode while Doncic ascends to his prime.

If he does not elect to sign another extension or opt out of his 2026-27 player option on his current contract, Doncic will be a free agent in summer 2027.

Until Doncic’s future becomes clearer, teams willing to engage in trade talks around the Mavericks’ first-round draft picks will likely covet ones in 2027 and beyond — when there is a chance Doncic could be playing elsewhere and the Mavericks’ selections could be higher.

2028

First round: One

Second round: None

The Mavericks’ second-round pick will go to Sacramento to complete the 2022 draft-night deal for Jaden Hardy.

2029

First round: None

Second round: None

The Mavericks sent both their first- and second-round picks in 2029 — along with Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith and the aforementioned 2027 second-rounder — to Brooklyn in exchange for Kyrie Irving.

The NBA does not allow teams to trade draft picks more than seven years in advance.

2030

First round: One

Second round: One

By the 2030 draft, Luka Doncic will be 31 years old, 11 years into his NBA career. The youngest draft prospects — who must turn 19 during the 2030 calendar year, per the NBA’s current collective bargaining rules — will have been born within months of the Mavericks’ 2011 championship.
