It's not in there because it's completely ineffective, and even if it was, no one would agree to it..

No player would ever say "I want to be traded".

They would simply say "If you decided to move me, I'd be inclined to accept if I was happy with the destination". They sent the same message but without your intended consequences.

Remember, saying "I want out" has no legal consequences, teams are not obligated to move you. Since it creates no legal obligation on the team to trade you, why would you expect that the NTC should or would get expired?
