The Portland Trail Blazers waived Trendon Watford in the summer of 2023. Given how well he's currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, the Blazers should absolutely be regretting this decision right about now.
It was a surprising move considering Watford was just 22 years old at the time and coming off two encouraging seasons in Portland. The Blazers initially signed Watford to a two-way contract after he went undrafted in 2021. They appeared to have found a hidden gem as Watford proved he belonged in the league from the start. He hovered around 7.5 points, four rebounds, and two assists per game on efficient shooting during those two seasons.
