Thinking about Lynn WiIliams trade for the second draft pick (Michelle Cooper) today.
Happened before I became a season ticket holder and followed the team closely. So curious what others think. But had to be tough to trade away the best (healthy - Mewis was in her neverending rehab) player on the team for a draft pick.
But we effectively traded Lynn Williams for Michelle Cooper and then Michelle has a pretty underwhelming first year.
But a move out to the wing, combined with the best payer in the world (I'll fight you on this - Chawinga is the best player in the world) has made Michelle Cooper an amazing player for both club and country. I know she'll be coming off the bench while triple espresso is around, but I think Cooper has a roster spot locked up on the USWNT for a long time. In many ways, she has the Lynn Williams/Biyendolo spot (ridiculously fast forward sub) locked up.
