Round 6 trades

Unresolved 2001 SuperDraft Trades

• 18 February 1999: Chicago Fire traded Zak Ibsen to Los Angeles Galaxy for 2001 second-round pick
• 24 February 1999, Colorado acquired GK Ian Feuer from New England Revolution in exchange for future considerations . It is unclear whether this trade was fulfilled through a 2001 first-round pick (#6), a 2001 second-round pick (#18), or why New England gave up draft picks to unload a player.
• 2 August 1999, Tampa Bay Mutiny traded defender Sam George, midfielder Paul Dougherty, and a conditional draft choice to Chicago Fire in exchange for defender Richie Kotschau and midfielder Manny Lagos. The draft pick may be 2001 pick #20.
