Vladimir Radmanovic, who was traded from the Lakers to the Bobcats this past weekend, claims that role players don't get much of an opportunity in Los Angeles.

"Being a Laker was a great experience," Radmanovic told The Charlotte Observer on Sunday. "But it was also frustrating not knowing when and how I'd play."

Radmanovic was traded to Charlotte in exchange for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown.

"Phil's system, great as it is, doesn't give a role player much opportunity," Radmanovic said. "For Kobe Bryant, it's great. For Pau Gasol, it's great. But role players don't do much."
