The pre-season is a good time to get a bunch on video sent to all the officials with calls and non-calls made to clear the air about interps of a new rule.
Except as far as I know, there's no such thing as a technical foul for embellishing. The new anti flopping measures are all post game done by the league. Otherwise plays are either no calls or a foul if the player is not in a legal position.

FYI, this T was rescinded by the NBA.
