The Philadelphia 76ers have signed a number of notable names in free agency, although the team has also lost JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler. In particular, Redick's departure was a big loss due to his status as one of the NBA's best shooters, and Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the team is interested in replacing the veteran with Kyle Korver:

They were also interested in acquiring him (Korver) again before Cleveland traded him to Utah Jazz on Nov. 29. Getting him would enable the Sixers to bring back a fan favorite who’s one of the league’s top three-point shooters.

Korver spent much of the 18-19 season with the Jazz, averaging 9.1 points per game while shooting 38% from three-point range. The veteran was traded to the Suns earlier this month but was quickly waived.
