First off, I don't think that Johnny Davis would want to have 2 injury 
prone big-money-making forwards (Dino & D.C.).  Plus you're hoping for 
the Sixers to accept 2 players who are currently severely injured.  With 
the less than spectacular performances turned in by Dino before his 
injury, Philly would be the laughing stock of the NBA.  How 
effective will a sometimes lethargic Dino be coming off an 
injury as serious as his?  Secondly, Dana is not a point guard.  He's a 
shooter who when hot gets his shot by utilizing high post screens.

Plus Stackhouse just is NOT the answer here.  I'm not sure who is, but 
he's not.  I would take Mitch Richmond in a heartbeat over Stackhouse.  
By the way, somebody on this list said they had never heard of Richmond 
before.  Guess they haven't watched any recent All-Star games either.
