This wasn't a bad deal, at all. Cardinal's numbers are actually good extrapolated to 40 minutes (and he played a significant enough number of minutes for an extrapolation to be reasonable...this isn't extrapolating 2 minutes per game).
Also, consider that even at the number of minutes he did play, he played virtually the same number of minutes as Okur, put up very similar numbers to Okur and is being paid significantly less. And Okur's deal is considered an important move by Utah.
West essentially got someone who produced like Okur, was undervalued and got him for less than Okur. Though, he is older, granted.
