CAMDEN, N.J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers prioritized versatility, ball-handling, and depth with the addition of Trendon Watford early in free agency. The Sixers have been in need of somebody with his skillset as he stands at 6-foot-9, with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, and is an excellent passer.

The Philadelphia 76ers made Trendon Watford their first signing of NBA free agency, a move that signals a shift toward Tyrese Maxey becoming the new face of the franchise.

The Philadelphia 76ers made their first move in free agency by bringing in Trendon Watford on a reported 2-year $5.3 million deal. It is a good value signing for Philadelphia as it continues to build a roster around its Big 3.
