The Suns, Bucks and Hornets are three teams that are expected to dump salary before this Thursday's trade deadline passes.

Shaquille O'Neal's $20 million salary, which Phoenix acquired last season, has put the team over the luxury tax threshold and they are shopping the contract of Amare Stoudemire because of it.

Milwaukee could trade Richard Jefferson to a playoff contender, as he'd be easier to deal than Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd, who are both suffering from serious injuries.

New Orleans might be forced to deal Tyson Chandler, as they have $76 million tied up in salary for next season already. Peja Stojakovic, who will earn $14.2 million next season, has crippled their cap situation.
