NEW ORLEANS — Former LSU Tiger Trendon Watford has agreed to a one-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to a report by ESPN. 

Watford, who plays as a forward, allegedly signed with the Pelicans for $2.9 million for the 2026-27 season. The 76ers previously declined Watford's $2.8 million proposal in June.
