#1 pick
We can no longer include Jeff Green in the deal, so this is about the best we're going to be able to offer. I still think it gives New Orleans more of a future than the Lakers / Rockets deal.
Like your thought, and I and you and danny and everyone on this board does that in less than a heartbeat, but you know that the NOH never do it.
Since they are probably getting JJJ and E'Tuan Moore anyway for West, this in effect gives us CP3 for Rondo, AB and one pick.
Not only do the Hornets say no, if they were to say yes, the league would veto it.
