The Detroit Pistons have been active in trade talks, and Stanley Johnson and Luke Kennard are two players who regularly come up, according to a report.

ESPN’s Ian Begley reported on Thursday that Johnson’s name comes up frequently in trade talks, leading many to believe he is available. Kennard, who was the team’s first-round pick in 2017, has also been a hot name, but Detroit isn’t looking to move him.

Kennard is averaging 6.4 points in just 17.3 minutes per game this season. Johnson, who was the No. 8 overall pick in 2015, is averaging 7.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game.

The Pistons (22-18) entered play on Thursday tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The trade deadline is Feb. 8.
