Troy Murphy helped the Nets notch a victory on Sunday, but he still isn't used to his up-and-down playing situation.

"Not even close. I have not accepted it, not at all," said Murphy. "This is not a role I'm accustomed to, and nor do I expect it to continue. I do not accept it at all."

Murphy hasn't gotten off the bench in four of New Jersey's last seven games.

His name has popped up in trade rumors once again, namely in a possible deal with the Nuggets for Carmelo Anthony.

Murphy has been traded twice before in his career.

"I know it's a business. My name's been in there before, it'll be in there again," Murphy said. "I really have no idea [if he'll be traded]. I can only control what I can control."
