Just a little bit from Michael Lewis in the New York Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/story/47622p-44788c.html "10. Beginning of the end: The biggest trade in MLS history backfired for the MetroStars. They got Mamadou Diallo, but lost the heart of their team - Daniel Hernandez to the Revolution. "
In the midst of mid-winter blues w. no football in sight I've been watching 2002 Rev tapes and boy, is Daniel a rock! Why would anybody trade him is beyond me unless relations had deteriorated to a pissing show. JIM DOW

And moving rid of him was supposedly the impetus for the whole deal! Kamler/Chrono, Serna/Diallo: pretty much straight swaps, although Kamler ended up being much more valuable for the Revs than expected.
