According to the Arizona Republic, Suns forward Tom Gugliotta is used to hearing the buzz of trade rumors.  They're probably inevitable when a player making $10.1 million this season is averaging 7.1 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Gugliotta has two more seasons after this one on his contract. And he's got a 15 percent trade kicker attached to his contract, meaning that if he were traded today, his new team would have to cut a check to him for about $4.5 million within 30 days after the trade.

The kicker also makes his salary-cap number higher, and thus more difficult for another team to fit. And it means the team that trades for him must give up more to match the number.

Those issues, and the fact that he has a reconstructed knee, make Gugliotta a very difficult player to trade.
