In a move that is sure to draw the ire of at least a few fans in Phoenix that were hopeful to get into the James Harden sweepstakes, Harden was dealt to the Houston Rockets as part of a multiple player deal on Saturday night.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports first reported the deal which is being confirmed by multiple sources.

The deal will send James Harden, Daequan Cook, Lazar Hayward and Cole Aldrich to the Houston Rockets, while the Oklahoma City Thunder will receive Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and future draft picks.

So, Suns fans, it appears Harden is off the table... Should the Suns have been in pursuit? Could they have offered a better package? Who should the Suns target now?
