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 Brooklyn Nets have lost forward Trendon Watford to the Philadelphia 76ers in free-agency, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

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.
