Watford is a player who uses his athleticism and handles to get to the basket and get his points, so his ability to handle the ball will be a big help to the Sixers. This current era of the NBA focuses a lot on wing depth and extra ball-handlers to make things move in the right direction so Watford helps in that regard.

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.

The deal has been reported by Derek Bodner of PHLY to be a one year deal for the veteran’s minimum. Gordon’s initial salary was also the minimum, but by signing a new one he actually makes a little bit more money while it benefits the Sixers’ cap sheet as well.
