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.

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.

June 30 : Trendon Watford is leaving the Nets and joining another Atlantic Division team, the Sixers, on a two-year deal worth $5.3MM, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets. That figures to be a minimum-salary contract for Watford — a two-year, veteran’s minimum deal for a player with his four years of experience will come in at $5.26MM.
