After close to four hours into free agency, they reached their first deal. Trendon Watford, a 6-foot-9 power forward, will receive a two-year, $5.3 million contract, according to sources. He can sign his deal after noon Sunday. Per a source, Watford’s acquisition makes it unlikely that post player Guerschon Yabusele will return.

Grimes is a restricted free agent so the Sixers have a chance to match any deal that he signs, but Yabusele is unrestricted. That means Philadelphia's options with him out of its control as it moves forward in free agency.
