The Lakers traded Vladimir Radmanovic to the Bobcats last month for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown, a move that saved the team about $17 million.
Radmanovic was often knocked because of his inconsistency, but Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson says that the team misses him.
"He's a qualified player. He can do things, he's going to have an impact on ballgames," Jackson said. "We miss him, there's no doubt about it. But that's it -- water under the bridge, you move on."

Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum could return as early as Sunday to play the Los Angeles Clippers.
Bynum has been sidelined with a partial tear in his right MCL. He injured his knee in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 31st.
According to his website, AndrewBynum.com, Bynum has been "playing 2 on 2 and 3 on 3." He hopes to get in a full practice on Saturday and scrimmage 5 on 5.
If the knee responds accordingly, Bynum would be inserted into the lineup for Sunday's game against the Clippers. If not, he should be out no later than the Memphis game on the 12th.
Bynum missed the end of last year's season due to an injury on his right kneecap. Many speculated that his current injury would prevent him from playing in this year's postseason as well.

Sunday's Hawks vs. Lakers matchup at Philips Arena drew the highest single-game crowd for a Hawks game in Philips Arena's nearly 10-year history (20,148).
Following are the top three regular season Hawks marks at Philips Arena:
20,148 vs. Los Angeles Lakers (3/29/09)
20,098 vs. Boston (4/12/08)
20,073 vs. Washington (11/1/01)
Sunday was also the club's 11th sellout this season, extending the total for the most the Hawks have recorded in a single season at Philips Arena, topping the eight from each of the last two seasons.
The Philips Arena mark for any Hawks game (including playoffs) is the 20,425 attracted for last year's First Round playoff game 6 contest against Boston (5/2/08).
The Hawks own the NBA record for the highest single-game attendance, when 62,046 fans packed the Georgia Dome for a 3/27/98 meeting with the Bulls.
