Smith and LeVert to Atlanta leaves them just under the LT, so that works.
All of this is predicated on Turner staying (which I think makes sense for him and for Indy). There is plenty of room to get him done if both sides want to.
Building on your Smith to Atlanta deal (and desire to bring Bitadze here...which I agree with). It could be:
THJ to Cleveland
LeVert and J. Smith and picks to Atlanta (leaving them under the tax)
Collins to Indy
Bitadze and Duarte to Dallas
INTERESTINGLY...that combination allows Indy to go to Turner's max for 22/23 ($37.1) with pennies to spare.
Sorry, but I don't see Bitadze or Duarte as rotation pieces on a good team.
