Right now it's probably a welcome distraction.
Without Bennett's trade request, what would the media be focusing on? How much of a garbage team this is? The bafflingly stupid coaching decisions? First line player Joakim Nordstrom?
To me, Tree is getting bailed out by any media "circus" this creates, just like how his roster last year got the excuse of the Peters disaster.
Year after year the results are middling if not poor, and the distractions and excuse-making comes to the rescue.
