Sam Hinkie worked close with Daryl Morey, so I guess that influenced the move to get Isaiah Canaan. He's trying to build the team in the analytic system that Morey created in Houston, you can see by how many shooters they have on that team now. MCW is a glorified scrub, producing numbers on a shitty team and was never in their plans of the future. KJ was on his way out after this season, so the fact that they got something in return is a bonus for them.

And Houston may live by these rules as well, but the biggest reason FAR AND AWAY they're any good is because there best players name is James Harden.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

For me, the worst deals were the KG trade and the I. Thomas trade.
Trading a first to acquire Thad, then sending him for KG less than a year later is pretty poor asset management.
I really don't get the Suns moving Thomas for Marcus Thornton and Cleveland's first rounder. The pick isn't going to be that high, so not really good motivation on its own. They knew that they had two starting quality PGs when they signed Thomas in the off-season, so trading him "because they acquired Knight" isn't really great logic unless they actually came to their senses and realized that 3 PGs is too many. But since they clearly are ok with 3 PGs (hence the signing), all they managed to accomplish is piss off (and decrease the value of) Dragic, who might actually be the best PG of the 4 (including Knight) that they have employed this year.
The JaVale McGee salary dumps gets an honourable mentioned and an excuse since it was two different GMs, but as a franchise, they trade Nene and a first for dumping McGee for nothing.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

I suspect the Thad initial trade was because Minny thought they were going to actually have a good team. The subsequent trade for KG was because they probably felt Thad was going to use his player option and to get some good grace from their fans for a lousy season they brought back KG.
The I. Thomas trade looks terrible, but he might have been a bit of a cancer for them.. at least that's what I've heard. I'm sure they could have done better then an expiring contract and a pick.. unless they are looking at free agency for options this summer.
