As it were, now they are a team of “okay” pieces with no All-Star talent. Where with teams like Denver, who I have seen described as “too deep,” Houston’s problem is that they are composed of pieces that were made to be moved in favor of actual “good” players. It is for that reason that I will walk back my prior statement that they have a sporting chance at the playoffs, unless they score one All-Star caliber player before season’s start.

From what I understand they did not care if they had Dwight for just 1 year (so they claimed). Also, they have positioned themselves with cap room and picks and such to be able to rebuild comfortably.
