The whole point of acquiring Morris was to provide depth at the forward positions and allow Lebron and AD more rest (they previously had at least 1 of them on the court basically at all times). No point in adding the other Morris, unless he's extremely cheap and Kuzma is dealt (and who knows if Markieff stays). The Lakers don't have a lot of money to work with this summer beyond AD's extension, so will Markieff want to stick around on the cheap? A lot depends on how well this season ends.
Kuzma could very well be dealt in the offseason, as he hasn't adjusted very well to his new role within this roster, but it's far from being a sure thing. Tough to deal a player when he is so cheap on his rookie contract, as you can't take back much salary in return.
They'll use the MLE and add Marcus, Markieff there is no problem to resign after adding him, AD's extension will only cause entering the lux tax which goes with the plan...
That is off course if things stay as planned and the circus makes it out of the West to the finals... If it doesn't, anything unpredictable may happen, cause neither Lebron or Klatch will take the blame, but will accuse the F.O. instead...
