The Lisa is NOT (not even close too, in fact)  an Apple III (///).
An Apple /// is a 6502 based system (actually dual 6502's) that
provides for (48K) Apple II emulation mode (there is a board from
Sun that provides for 128K //e emulation on a ///).

Lisa was a precursor of the Macintosh.  It is a 68000 based system
that, before it was continued was renamed the Mac something or other.
I believe it possible to run a Mac operating system on a Lisa and
there IS Macware that emulates a II (won't run copy protected software).
Whether "II in a Mac" (I think there's another as well) will run on
a Lisa emulating a Mac, I do not know.

Wouldn't it be easier just to buy a Laser 128 (not from Sears though)?
