Yeah, everybody understands the high degree of integrity associated with secret trades.
I'm guessing it has something to do with a yet to be named Discovery Player.
seems like the trade was to get back what we gave up for Albright.

PASADENA, CA (Thursday, August 15, 2002) - The Los Angeles Galaxy completed
its trade with D.C. 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.
"We are pleased to be able to get back our 2003 SuperDraft pick because it
gives us more freedom heading into next year and allows us a number of
different options," said Hamilton.
A senior international, Zambrano spent two seasons in MLS and returns to the
league after being on loan from MLS to Millonarios of the Colombian 1st
Division. A former member of the Colorado Rapids and MetroStars, Zambrano
compiled 32 games played - 27 started - and 17 points in 2,263 minutes on
the pitch. As a member of the MetroStar in 1999, Zambrano recorded three
goals and three assists. In 2000, the 5-6, 140-pound forward grabbed two
goals and four assists with the Rapids.
