The Philadelphia 76ers quietly made one of the better low-cost additions of the 2025 offseason by signing Trendon Watford. Watford, 24, is a productive and well-rounded player who agreed to a two-year minimum contract with a second-season club option.
With the epitome of a low-risk, high-reward situation at play, the 76ers could soon benefit immensely from targeting a talented player whose abilities were overshadowed by a bad situation.
Watford is a shining example of how role players on bad teams can receive an unfair reputation. Even if they're capable of providing valuable minutes, the team's record often overshadows the quality they can provide if placed in the right situation.
