NBA Trade Rumors 2013: Cleveland Cavaliers To Use No.1 Pick For Ben McLemore; LA Lakers Talking with Clippers for Trade Involving Dwight Howard-For-Blake Griffin

The Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to decide which prospect they are going to select for the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, a league insider reported on Sunday.

The Cavaliers, who won the first overall pick for the second time in three years, are reportedly torn between Kentucky Wildcats center Nerlens Noel and Kansas Jayhawks shooting guard Ben McLemore with just not less than two weeks left before the NBA Draft.

Noel has been the consensus no.1 pick for this year's draft, but NBA Arena reported  the Cavs are beggining to be a little bit concern about the center's recovery from a season-ending ACL injury and lack of moves on the offensive end.

On the other hand, McLemore is a more gifted scorer with the ability to attack inside and hit from the outside. The former Jayhawks star averaged 15.9 points with a 50 percent clip from the field.

Selecting the 6-foot-5 McLemore for their no.1 pick could give the Cavs one of the most explosive triumvirates in the NBA, though mismatches with taller backcourt players could be a big problem down the line.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are now negotiating with the Los Angeles Clippers for a possible sign-and-trade deal involving multiple All-Star players, primarily Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin.

Real GM indicated the two teams are still in the exploratory phase, but there's a high chance a deal could be agreed upon in the coming days. In a proposed deal, the Lakers will send Dwight Howard and draft picks to the Clippers in exchange for Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe.

The Clippers will suddenly have the most lethal point guard-center combo in the NBA with Chris Paul and Howard in the fold. Howard admitted he was intrigued on the possibility of teaming up with All-Star point guard in the future - a thing that could happen very soon.
