After the Suns spent the last several weeks of the 2014-15 season handing out 10-day contracts to guards such as Seth Curry, A.J. Price and Jerel McNeal, it became clear that a reliable backup point guard would have to be discovered during the offseason.
Many people were partial to unrestricted free agent Ish Smith, who was a fan favorite just two seasons ago.
Instead, Ryan McDonough went with a different former Sun. In a surprising move the team brought back Ronnie Price with a one-year, veteran minimum contract of $1.5 million.
You may remember Price as the third-string guard from the 2011-12 season, back when he failed to earn the primary backup PG spot over Sebastian Telfair.
