- Notes
- Philadelphia owes its own pick to Brooklyn if its falls No. 9–30, and owns the Los Angeles Clippers pick outright. The San Antonio Spurs have the right to swap its own pick with Boston if Boston's pick falls No. 2–30. Boston may swap for the most favorable (or only) pick Philadelphia holds unless the Philadelphia pick falls No. 9–30 AND the Clippers pick falls No. 17–30, in which case Boston would receive the Clippers pick outright and make no swap with Philadelphia.
- The most favorable of the picks originally belonging to Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
- The most favorable of the picks originally belonging to Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, and Washington Wizards.
