The first move made by the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency was bringing in Trendon Watford on a 2-year $5.3 million deal. Watford, a close friend of Sixers star Tyrese Maxey, is a versatile forward who can do so many different things on the floor and can move the Sixers in the right direction in the right role.

Trendon is a young, dynamic player with a unique skill set who fits nicely with what we’re trying to accomplish on both sides of the ball,” said Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.

Trendon Watford is not just excited to be on the Sixers, but also to finally be teammates with one of his closest friends.
