Getting Traded

I would love to think this strategy works but it doesn't. Hayward and Quin are beyond respectful and they get the shaft hard... Favors is the same.
Pop gets techs... Kerr gets techs... As long as you don't go sheed/cousins I'm inclined to believe complaining works. CP3 is basically allowed to commit battery and assault all game and he complains as much as anyone.
Stupid example because these refs are pros but they are still people. I coached flag football this year and there is a team with screeching obnoxious coaches. The refs made a call they shouldn't have and I asked for an explanation... The ref clearly frustrated said look those guys are screaming in my ear what do you want me to do.
Refs don't want attention ( most anyway) and when you challenge them they are getting negative attention that they want to stop.
I wonder if LHM were alive, if he'd contact the League Office and make a complaint, the way Mark Cuban does. Maybe Greg should do something, gathering the information like Andy Larsen and present it to Mike Bantom, maybe it would help. I noticed during a break after a call that was questionable that the camera fixed on Quin and behind him in the row behind the bench was Greg wide-eyed with a incredulous expression.
