Weak cluster points of maximizing sequences on Banach spaces satisfying

Given a bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable Banach space with property $(M_p)$, we prove that the smallest and the largest norm of weak cluster points of all maximizing sequences for $T$ can only take the values $0$ or $1$. The three classes of bounded linear operators emerging from the dichotomy of these extremal norm values coincides with the partition, created by considering the norm-attaining property and if the essential norm equals the norm.
