If we in fact sign Murphy, who should play of the two?

My instinct is Murphy. better rebounder.

6-11 vs 7 ft....why is Kristic more of a center? They both are shooters on offense.

Murphy plays against PFs while Nenad is a little more physical to play centers. In a pinch Murphy can play center against slow footed centers, but Nenad may not be able to hols too many quicker PFs.

It shouldn't matter once shaq is back. My instinct is Krstic because he's a more natural center. But i'm beginning to get the feeling they've just been giving shaq an extended leave for rest.

If we do manage to land Murphy, his talent is such that he could leap Krstic and Baby in the rotation.  Big men who can average a double-double and shoot 40% from 3 don't exactly grow on trees you know.  But he'd have to show that his weak showing in New Jersey was just a product of his circumstances.

Murphy. As long as the unit on the floor can protect his defensive deficiencies.

Defense.

I think both will play center for the Cs.

Krstic with KG, more likely Murphy with Baby.

Murphy have a 3 pt. game and still rebounds at a high rate. Could do either. Would allow more flex to play Green at 4 for an up and down unit.

Nenad is not more physical than Murphy from what I've seen and they are the same size and both slow...

  How about his defense, or the fact that he gets outrebounded as badly as Krstic when he played center last year?
