Daily News | Gotham FC trades for Lynn Williams; Alyssa Thompson goes No. 1 at the NWSL draft
The NWSL draft started out as expected, but it only took a few minutes for the night to erupt into an even bigger spectacle at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Barely a breath after NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman announced the pick, she announced a blockbuster trade: Gotham FC landed U.S. national team veteran forward Lynn Williams from the Kansas City Current in exchange for the No. 2 pick. The Gotham fans in the room who came down from north Jersey were shocked, and so was everyone else on hand.returning to action this month with the national team
Earlier Thursday, Gotham acquired the No. 4 pick in a deal with Racing Louisville, dealing away forward Paige Monaghan, $150,000, and an international roster spot for this year. It was easy to guess at that point that Gotham was up to something bigger, because while the top of the draft pool had good players, it had few slam-dunks.
The player who won the award, Duke sophomore forward Michelle Cooper, went to Kansas City at No. 2. Multiple sources with knowledge of the deal told The Inquirer that Kansas City wanted Cooper badly enough to make a straight player-for-pick swap.
