The Philadelphia 76ers may be eyeing a couple of Detroit Pistons.

Philadelphia has expressed interest in acquiring guards Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway from Detroit, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Free agent Jeff Green is reportedly also on Philadelphia's radar. Green worked out for the 76ers in Miami after the Utah Jazz waived him in December, a source told Pompey.

Shooting is reportedly one of the 76ers' priorities ahead of February's trade deadline, and Kennard and Galloway potentially fit better than Green. The two Pistons are shooting 39.9% from beyond the arc this season, though Kennard owns a slight career edge at 40.2% compared to Galloway's 36.4%.

Green, meanwhile, has hit threes at a 33.3% clip over 12 seasons.

Kennard has been one of the Pistons' better offensive producers this season. The 23-year-old is averaging 15.8 points per game to go with 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds.

However, Detroit could be tempted to cash in on the third-year guard amid a possible roster overhaul. Star forward Blake Griffin is out indefinitely after undergoing knee surgery, and the club has reportedly discussed an Andre Drummond trade with the Atlanta Hawks.
