One of those things was a blockbuster deal to bring Chris Paul to town. The other was a mad rush to acquire every fringe roster player under the sun in exchange for cash considerations. In the span of a few hours, the Rockets took on DeAndre Liggins from the Mavericks, Ryan Kelly from the Hawks, Tim Quarterman from the Blazers, Darrun Hilliard from the Pistons, and Shawn Long from the 76ers.
