I mean, the league is trying to do what's best for any team during a trade, right? Breaking down trades in smaller pieces, awarding TPE's and stuff.
In a hypothetical situation lets say Team B has a $5 million TPE makes a trade but wants to keep the TPE. That obviously doesn't sit well with Team A but the trade works without the TPE just as it works with it.
Who gets or keeps the TPE?
Does a team have a say whether he wants or doesn't an except

Your question is based on a faulty understanding of how TPEs, and really trades in general, work. I would need an example you have worked out where you think this issue would come in to play to explain this better, but as an attempt to explain where you are going wrong, here are a few things you should know:
1) TPEs are not traded from one team to another. They are just generated in a trade from the individual teams perspective. Say Team A has a $5 million trade exception. If they trade with Team B for a player making $3.2 million dollars, then from their perspective they are using $3.2 million of the TPE to absorb the new player's salary, leaving $1.8 million of the TPE left over. Meanwhile, Team B Sees it as trading a player for nothing, and gets a $3.2 million TPE from that.
2) When two teams make a trade, they are allowed to arrange the trade in any way which is legal to them. This means multi-player trades can be made where both teams end up with TPEs, because of how they see the trade working out from their own angle.
3) As a result, if the trade in example 1) was part of a multi-player deal, and it happened in such a way to allow Team A to take on the $3.2 million dollar player without using its TPE, while Team B could still see him as being sent out for nothing, then Team A doesn't need to use its TPE but Team B would still generate one.
