Ranking all 30 teams by most draft capital

With another offseason essentially in the books, teams around the NBA can prepare to plan ahead for the future and take inventory of their current assets and future draft picks.

The offseason saw another flurry of transactions as some teams made moves to help them win now, while others made them with an eye toward the future. While there are still a few potential players that could be moved, such as Kevin Durant or Donovan Mitchell, the bulk of the action is over.

With that in mind, Rookie Wire took a look at where teams currently stand in terms of their draft capital. We looked at the situation for each franchise and how many picks they have incoming and outgoing, courtesy of RealGM.
