The Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of trying to add more shooting and playmaking to their roster in advance of the February 6 trade deadline and it appears that they have added to that list.
With the Detroit Pistons beginning to make moves on their roster after making All-Star center Andre Drummond available in trades, it appears that teams are inferring on other pieces of their roster. There are a few guards that could catch the attention of general manager Elton Brand and his staff.
According to the Inquirer.com’s Keith Pompey, the Sixers are interested in Pistons guards Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway. Both of them are sharpshooters and Kennard is known as a playmaker so it would be a big help.
Another option is Jeff Green who is currently a free agent.

On one hand, the Pistons would most likely be hesitant to give up Kennard as they would most likely be entering a rebuilding phase with the changes they are prepared to make. Galloway, on the other hand, would be more realistic for the Sixers due to his expiring contract.
The trade deadline is approaching and the Sixers need to make a move here fairly quickly. [lawrence-related id=23271,23247,23260]
