Can the other team in Florida compete for the NBA Championship?

The Magic have kept the core of their 2009-10 team in tact to compete with the new favorites in Florida .  The Magic matched Chicago's offer to keep J.J. Redick   The Magic also signed Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson None of the moves are very big moves, the Magic are hoping they can keep the core of the team together and keep up with the Heat next year.   Those moves won't get fans excited to get their Magic courtside tickets for next year.
Richardson continues on his quest to play for every NBA team before he's done by playing for the Clippers, Suns, Knicks, Memphis (traded before he could log any minutes), Clippers again (only was there for 3 days in the summer so again, no minutes logged), Timberwolves (embarrassingly traded again to the Heat before having a chance to actually prove himself on the court), Heat, and now the Magic so far in his career.  The big change with the Magic will be if he takes over Matt Barnes' starting role with the team if the Magic want to keep Pietrus as their energy guy off the bench.  Hopefully, Stan Van Gundy will allow Pietrus to start, it will give them a different look   Letting Barnes go will be an even bigger mistake if he signs with the Heat to provide them some defense and toughness.   Richardson's defense will be horrible, along with Carter's and Lewis' defense.   Barnes could have defended someone and provided some scoring as well.   I hope the Heat-Magic playoff series happens to watch the Magic get swept in 4.  I'm interested to see if Magic fans concord and we'll see how those Magic Knicks tickets sell.  
I don't understand Orlando's obsession with perimter players   Richardson is the same player as Lewis, but 4 inches shorter.   Orlando probably could have gotten Barnes for about the same price as Richardson   Barnes will provide on the ball defense and interior scoring to his next team.
Adding Duhon signals Jason Williams is done with the Magic The Magic got him at a good price considering he'll be on of the best backup PGs in the NBA.   There should be some chemistry with the second unit because Duhon and Redick played at Duke together.
The starting team around Howard of Nelson, Carter, Richardson, and Lewis won't be doing very much damage inside or playing much defense next year, and that's why they won't be doing any damage in the playoffs.
