Not impossible, but a bit more work than one might expect. I do think is would be a nice addition though.

In addition to this, the game would have to also come up with trades that AREN'T going to happen and publish those as rumors, or else it makes the entire system pointless. I see no way OOTP could realistically implement this feature with where the game is now.

Neither. All of those players have very low morale, usually due to being benched or playing for a non-contender. Those stories are pseudo-random, as the player is picked from a list of those with exceptionally low morale.
