United sending forward Henry Zambrano to United and in exchange receives back its conditional 2003 MLS SuperDraft pick from the Chris Albright trade (1/11/02) announced Galaxy VP/GM Doug Hamilton. In order to execute the trade, Los Angeles selected Zambrano, who had signed with MLS early in the week, after five teams passed in this afternoon's MLS Waiver Draft.
