Shaq was not a good fit for the Suns who were a highscoring, high-tempo team that had acquired personnel to do that. Along comes O'neal who is a power, position player. He simply didn't fit; disrupted the flow of the offense on a team that didn't play defense. The Cavs on the other hand don't mind playing solid defense, and taking their time to get a good shot. I agree with others that think this is a near perfect fit for the Cavs.
