LMA has not been playing at an NBA level for quite some time. The "more likely" outcome here is that they decide he won't be a solution.
As for Morris, the statement that he's not in NBA shape is not good. Not being in "be ready" mode makes him virtually useless, because the team is very unlikely to give a 3rd teamer regular minutes of game time (that can make a difference in the standings, and that other players might also want) to ramp him up for play and get him ready. That preparation to be in shape is his job to do, on his own, and it's on him (not the team) to make it happen.
Luka, sitting out and letting himself get out of shape? Incredibly disappointing, but they will cater to that, to let him play through it. But not a 3rd-teamer.
Hopefully they have Morris on a program right now to be good after the All Star break or at least close enough that he can contribute. I absolutely agree that it's ridiculous he doesn't stay in game shape.
