New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, who reportedly could be moved before the league’s Feb. 6 trade deadline, is not on the Warriors’ radar, Andscape’s Marc J. Spears reported Tuesday in an appearance on KNBR 680’s “Murph & Markus.” “I also did hear that Zion’s not on the [Warriors] radar,” Spears told Brian Murphy and Markus Boucher. “Which, I know others might feel differently, but probably a good thing. Because with Zion, you just don’t know what you’re going to get and when he’s going to be healthy, and his [salary cap] number’s rather high as well. I just think the Warriors in the end will get someone in a very creative way. They actually have to.”

Dejounte Murray at #Pelicans shootaround on Zion (questionable to play tonight): “That’s a guy teams are going to load up on. He’s going to be able to get guys (open) shots and allow that to open things up for him. We don’t want him to feel like he has to come save the world.” – 1:01 PM
