Chicago Bulls Deal Len Chappell to Cincinnati Royals

On November 25th, 1966, the Chicago Bulls traded forward-center Len Chappell to the Cincinnati Royals for center-forward George Wilson.

George Wilson was selected eighth in the first round of the 1964 NBA Draft by the Cincinnati Royals. He was a territorial pick for the Royals. Territorial picks existed during the early days of the NBA where teams were allowed to forfeit a first round pick and select a college player from its immediate area.

Wilson previously starred at the University of Cincinnati where he spent four years, three years which were n the varsity team. Wilson thrived at the school. In his first year playing on the varsity squad, Wilson won a national championship with the Bearcats. He also made first-team All-MVC (Missouri Valley Conference) in his junior and senior years.

The Royals were one of the better teams in the nine-team NBA during the 1964-65 season. Led by star combo Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas, Cincinnati began the season 12-8 and had the second best record in the league with a 32-13 record after 45 games.

The Royals went 16-19 over the final 35 games to fall to 48-32. Wilson had a bit role in his rookie season. The former college star managed 2.3 PPG and 2.6 RPG in 39 contests and 7.4 MPG.

The Royals had the second best record in the Eastern Division. They faced the 40-40 Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Division Semifinals. The series opener saw Philadelphia guard Al Bianchi hit a shot and Wilt Chamberlain knocked down two free-throws in a 119-117 overtime win.

Game Two was also close. Robertson had 40 points and 13 assists as the Royals tied the series 1-1 with a 121-120 victory. 76ers guard Hal Greer led the way with 30 points and 13 rebounds as Philadelphia won Game Three 108-94.

Philadelphia led by 17 points after the third quarter of the fourth game and held on for a 119-112 victory and a 3-1 series win against the Royals. Wilson played in two of the four games, scoring two points and grabbing two boards.

For the 1965-66 season, the Royals got off to a 3-4 start, but won 14 of the next 18 games to reach 17-8. The team was second place in the East with a 31-14 record after 45 games. Like the previous season, the Royals had a late slide, going 14-21 over the final 35 games to fall to third place with a 45-35 record. In his second season, Wilson played in 47 games, tallying 2.9 PPG and 2.1 RPG in 5.9 MPG.

The Royals were the third seed and played the 54-26 Boston Celtics in the Division Semifinals. Cincinnati took the first game in Boston. Robertson and Adrian Smith combined for 52 points in a 107-103 win. In the second game, Sam Jones had 42 points and Bill Russell added 25 points and 16 rebounds in a 132-125 Celtics victory.

In the third game, Jerry Lucas had 27 points snd 16 rebounds as Cincinnati won 113-107. Game Four saw the Celtics build a 15-point lead after three quarters and win 120-103.

With the series tied 2-2, Boston had its best defensive game. The Celtics held Cincinnati to 39.4% shooting, Russell had 16 points, 31 rebounds and 11 assists and Boston won 112-103. The loss eliminated the Royals. Wilson played in just one game during the series, scoring two points.

During the next season, Wilson played just 12 games (2.4 PPG and 3.6 RPG) with the Kings before he was traded to the Chicago Bulls early in the regular season for Chappell. In 98 games, Wilson amassed 2.6 PPG and 2.5 RPG. The forward shot 31% from the field and 56% from the free-throw line in that time.

Len Chappell became a member of the Chicago Bulls when he was selected by the club from the New York Knicks in the 1966 NBA expansion draft. A former All-Star in New York, Chappell's minutes had been severely cut over a two-year stretch.

The minutes trend didn't stop in Chicago. Chappell saw limited rotation minutes as a center with the Bulls, registering just 9.4 MPG in 19 games before the Bulls moved on from the 6-foot-8 player by trading him to Cincinnati. Chappell managed 4.9 PPG, 2.0 RPG and 0.6 APG.

After the trade, Chappell appeared in a limited role with the Royals. The frontcourt player saw action in 54 games with the Royals and recorded 4.1 PPG and 2.8 RPG in 9.8 MPG.

Cincinnati was below .500 for a good portion of the 1966-67 season. The Royals were 13-23 after 36 games and 31-39 after 70 games. An 8-3 stretch in the final 11 games allowed the club to reach 39-42, good for third place in the Eastern Division.

The Royals went on to the 1967 postseason and faced the 68-13 Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Division Semifinals. The Royals took the first game 120-116 after Oscar Robertson scored 33 points. In the second game, 76ers center Wilt Chamberlain had 37 points and 27 rebounds as Philadelphia cruised to a 123-102 win.

In Game Three, the 76ers built a 15-point edge at halftime. Hal Greer had 33 points and Chamberlain put up 16 points, 30 rebounds and 19 assists as the Sixers held on for a 121-106 victory. Greer had 30 points as the Sixers routed the Royals 112-94 to win the series 4-1. Chappell appeared in all four Semifinals games against Philadelphia. He averaged 5.5 PPG on 37% shooting, 3.3 RPG and 2.3 APG.

In the 1967 offseason, the Royals protected Chappell in the San Diego Rockets' expansion draft and left guard Jon McGlocklin available. Chappell ended up signing a contract with undisclosed terms to stay with Cincinnati. The Royals hired Ed Jucker as head coach, replacing coach Jack McMahon who had resigned.

Chappell had an even lesser role with the Royals entering the 1967-68 season. He appeared in 10 games, putting up 3.8 PPG and 1.5 RPG in 6.5 MPG. He was traded to the Detroit Pistons in late November for a future third round draft pick in 1968 and cash considerations.

George Wilson was brought in to add some size and rebounding to Chicago. It was a homecoming for him as he grew up on the west side of Chicago. Wilson played in 43 games with the Bulls. The 6-foot-8 frontcourt player produced 4.6 PPG and 3.8 RPG in 10.4 MPG.

Chicago's first season in the NBA was rough early on. The team was 9-22 in its first 31 games. The Bulls were 23-43 after 66 games and last in the Western Division. Chicago made a late season run, going 10-5 in the final 15 games to sneak into the playoffs as the fourth seed. The Bulls faced the 39-42 St. Louis Hawks in the West Semifinals.

In the first game, Hawks guard Lou Hudson had 26 points and Lenny Wilkens recorded 20 points as St. Louis won 114-100. Chicago took an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter of Game Two, but the Hawks rallied in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Bulls 34-20 to win 113-107.

St. Louis completed the 3-0 sweep after Wilkens nearly had a triple double in a 119-106 victory. Wilson played in two of the three playoff games, managing 3.5 PPG and 4.5 RPG in 13.5 MPG. In the 1967 offseason, Wilson was taken in the 1967 expansion draft by Seattle SuperSonics.

Len Chappell on the trade (via The Cincinnati Enquirer):

"I was only playing about eight minutes a game up there, primarily due to the fact, I guess, I'm not a real strong rebounder. They need the rebounding. "Looking over the league, you've have to look and see who needed help and where. Cincinnati was a team that needed help in the positions I could play. "If there's any team I'd like to play with, this is the one. No. 1, you get a chance to play with Oscar [Robertson], who's the greatest player alive. Second, I think this is a first-class organization and I like the way they play."

On his skill set:

"I think I play good defense. I think, too, I can do a lot of good things people don't see. I'm a good shooter, but that's only part of my game. I'm big enough to block out and set screens for the guards."

Chicago Bulls general manager Dick Klein on how Wilson can help the team's offense by defensive rebounding and the club's hopes for him (via the Chicago Tribune):

"We have been using all five men to rebound on defense, which hampers our fast break. With more playing time, we hope George also will regain the scoring touch he had in college."

Cincinnati Royals head coach Jack McMahon on Chappell (via The Cincinnati Enquirer):

"Anytime this guy has been given a chance to play, he's played good ball. Everybody regards him as a good outside shooting threat. He doesn't have the great speed but he'll dribble in and make that in close shot."

I’m a winterfalcon ho all the way, have been for a while, but you know what if TFATWS wants to make Sarah/Bucky canon I think I’ll be pretty damn happy with it. Black girls don’t get to be the romantic love interest, they deserve to see an emo hottie chasing after someone who looks like them out of genuine love and respect. So I’m gonna channel some Sam energy and say that if I see any of you saying a bad word about his sister so help me I will falcon punch your asses.

newly edited; may 24th 2021

Every single thing about Sam Wilson had made your stomach flutter with uncontrollable butterflies. The way he spoke and carried himself. His bright smile and the way he laughed and how it reached to his eyes. All of those things are what made you fall in love with him, but falling in love with your best friend was tricky.

For years you both stood in touch despite how many states you lived from one another. After Sam came back home and started living in D.C, you got a job there and he was fucking thrilled. You struggled to find a place to live, despite Sam’s efforts to get you to move in with him, as you wanted to do things on your own. But when it got extremely difficult, you gave in. How hard could it be to live with your best friend?

When you first asked yourself that, you didn’t really think anything of it. It was easy for the first few months. He was a clean person, kept things organized and had a great set up with his record player. That was one of the many things you adored about him. His love for music and the way he would always show you music you’ve never listened to. The way he’d cook breakfast early in the morning for you before the two of you went off to work. The way he’d say ridiculous jokes and laugh the hardest.

There wasn’t a thing you didn’t hate about him, or dislike. Sure, as best friends you’d annoy the shit out of each other from time to time. But, it never made you want to be without him. Even when times got rough, he was still there for you even if he was the one to make you upset. That was just the type of man Sam Wilson was; caring and the utmost loving human being. He’d gone through a lot, and that was an understatement.

Before The Snap even happened, you were scared you lost him forever. He was helping Steve find Bucky with some others and you had to stay on the sidelines, helping them find places of safety and running from everyone who wanted their hands on Bucky and them. You went months without seeing him because of that. And when The Snap happened, Steve came to you and explained everything. It hurt you because you knew that was going to happen: losing Sam.

Those five years were the longest years of your life. Family members dying, moving and you on your own in the apartment. It made a huge difference with the most warm person you knew was gone. Everything was cold and empty, no smile that could light up the room was there to be seen. No contagious laugh or someone to confide in. No more Sam. Although you two have been apart in life because he went on his tours, something was different about him being gone. No communication, no location. But still, the feeling you’d never see him again would linger in your heart, heavy on your mind. The picture frames were still there to remind you of him and all the memories you’ve shared.

Sometimes, staring at pictures of the two of you and listening to his favorite records made you cry. It made you regret that you never got to tell him you loved him. More than a friend, more than just because you were grateful for him. It was because you were utterly in love with your best friend.

For years, you couldn’t stand to be alone. And Sarah, his sister, knew how much you were suffering alone. No job, no immediate family around...so she made you pack up some stuff and move down to Delacroix to Sam’s childhood home. Sarah, and pretty much everyone who knew you and Sam, knew how you felt about him. And although you were oblivious to how Sam felt towards you, everyone knew how he felt about you. They all saw it. The way the two of you would brighten up either of you walked in a room. The way no one else took his place or yours.

During the five years he was gone, you would hang with Sarah and her kids. You were back and forth between D.C and Delacroix from time to time, whenever you could afford it. She never liked to ask for help, but you helped out because you wanted to. Sarah was a sister to you, and those kids were something special. Watching them grow up when Sam was gone, they reminded you of him. So did Sarah.

When Sam came back, there was no wasting time jumping in his arms. After the final war with Thanos (Sam told you everything about it), there was Tony’s funeral. Natasha’s. Everyone came together, including you. If that wasn’t enough to make things and everyone feel down, Steve left and it broke Bucky. Sam was in for a surprise when he was handed the shield.

For months, Bucky left and you and Sam went back to Delacroix. Although he went back into working after being pardoned, you worried for him and Bucky. You didn’t want them to overwork themselves and jump back in after fighting and running for so long.

But as you looked out for Sam, you realized he was okay. Even if you were worried about him every day (I mean come on, he’s your best friend), you knew that Sam was never to keep things bottled up. It was rare, but right now he told you he was fine but if he needed someone, he’d obviously come to you. As time went on, he went on missions. You stood back, working at home (in Sarah’s house) as a journalist for credible news sources in New York and D.C. Although you were grateful to have this family and them letting you stay, you were missing Sam too much. Sure, he wasn’t working everyday 24/7, but there were missions where he was gone an entire week.

After talking to him one night about it, he saw how concerned you were. He would change his schedule slightly, in order to make sure he wasn’t ever becoming work obsessed. He knew your family as a kid would be so invested in their careers, that you were somewhat neglected a childhood.

The things he’s done for you made you swoon for him. Sometimes, it made you feel guilty and selfish for asking for more time with your best friend. As you confided in him about little things like that, Sam would laugh and reassure you that you shouldn’t ever feel selfish or sorry for wanting him to be around.

He started taking it easy on work. Not only because you felt like he was working too much, but because the family business was struggling and he wanted to help out a lot more. This led to family time, which Sarah and you gossiped about while packaging plates for customers. Sarah would argue that Sam working is fine, and it’s better that he’s away from home. Although she understood your feelings for him (you didn’t think she knew, but Sarah had really good intuition), she didn’t want you or Sam to worry about the business, boat or home.

So yeah, he still kept taking time off work but that meant his missions were more tough and extremely longer than most. Even though that was a change, there were still those nights you both cherished. The ones where it was just you two, alone, staying up all night watching the classics you two both loved.

He caught you staring at him one night. Sitting on the couch together watching the third movie of the night. You stared at the way his smile made his cheek bones prominent, the way it reached his eyes. He would huff out laughs and his sculpted body would move up and down. You didn’t realize you were staring so hard, until he turned his head to react to a joke from the movie.

Your cheeks were set on fire and you were utterly embarrassed. The way his wide smile began to slowly fade as he watched your eyes glare down to his lips and back up to his eyes. Coughing, you quickly turned back to the screen with your breath hitching in your throat. You bit your lip and began bouncing your leg in anxiousness. Trying to watch the movie, you felt Sam’s stare burn through the side of your face.

“What?” Sam smirked.

“What?”

“What’s going on?” He asked softly. You didn’t answer, which makes him sigh and grab the remote so that the movie didn’t distract you. “Y/N?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.” You stood up, hesitating whether or not you should head to bed or sit back down. “I’m gonna go to bed. I’m just exhausted.”

Sam had this thing about him. He knew when people were having a hard time, and he knew much better than to just let you walk away without letting you talk things out with him. He gripped on your wrist and pulled you down to the couch. You let out a tired sigh, and fell into his side.

“You gonna keep sighing or are you ever gonna tell me what’s wrong?”

“It’s been so hard these last few months.” You gulped, hoping it would stop you from being over emotional.

“You came back after all these years, fought against Thanos and Steve left the shield to you. And then you didn’t take it, so I thought maybe you would’ve taken it easy for a while. I worry about you every day, every time we’re not together. I kept trying to tell you every chance I had, but I scared. I got mad at myself for not telling you, but I was scared if I did I would ruin everything. I got mad at myself because I knew if I didn’t tell you, I could probably lose you one day on a mission and you’d never know…Sam, I-I’m-”

The nerves shoot up and down your body, making you anxious

“Hey, hey…” He pulled your hands from your face, making you look at him. “Tell me what? Is everything alright?”

Sam’s heart starts to drop in his stomach, worried that something was wrong and you didn’t tell him a thing about it.

“I’m in love with you. I really, always...truly love you.”

You spilled your heart out, embarrassingly so, you try to leave his grasp. But he doesn’t let you go. He wants to listen, he wants to make sure you know that he feels the same way. So, he does.

He said your name lovingly, “I love you.”

Stunned, you tilt your head trying to make sense of those three little words you had no idea he’d say to you...in that way. He waited for your response, biting back a smile as he thought it was cute that you were flustered.

“I can’t...you?”

“Talk it out, baby, that’s alright.”

You swooned at the nickname, your heart pounding against your chest. Leave it up to Sam Wilson to make you melt by just speaking.

“I can’t believe you love me.”

Sam laughed lovingly, “What? Why’s that?”

“Fuck, I said that out loud.” You hid your face in his chest. The heat rises into your cheeks as you squeezed his biceps in embarrassment. “Sam, I’m serious. I just-”

“Look at me.” He tugged on your waist. His hand had started to glide from your hip to your jaw, caressing it gently. “Come on, I’ve loved you since we were kids. I thought all the flirting and back and forth was obvious! I love you now and I’ll continue to love my girl forever.”

Your eyes shoot up to his.

“Yeah, my girl.” He smiled, his eyes flickering down to your lips and back to your eyes. “This explains a lot too.”

“What?”

“Never bringing home anyone. Dates, sure. But the fact that we both knew inside we couldn’t bring anyone home, or came up with excuses.”

“You came up with excuses not to bring anyone home? Or date people? Jesus, Sam...why?”

“You’re telling me you haven’t?” You shook your head at him. “I thought so.”

“But why?”

“You really gotta ask me why?” He sighed, raising his eyebrows in concern. “Oh baby. I was gone for a second, but I lost years and so did you. I can’t ever imagine how that must’ve been for you, or Sarah and the kids. I’ve been thinking a lot lately, more than ever, about how the life I had before Steve walked in my life. All the people we had to fight, and save and run for our lives….That was hard. Being away from you for so long that sucked.”

“It did. So, I guess we both know how it feels when we’re away from each other for so long.”

“Yeah, and that made me realize I don’t want to waste anymore time. I love you because it’s always been you. The people I’ve met, all those dates or whatever they were: it didn’t work because they weren’t you. No one can even amount to you.”

You shook your head, “No, Sam. I’m not that special-”

“Don’t do that. Don’t think you’re not. Don’t do that self deprecating thing, because I know you know how I’ve seen you. How Sarah sees you, how those kids look up to you. Shit, even Bucky sees you. He won’t return my calls or texts, but somehow you get through to him. You’re special. The way you have the strength to get up early in the morning with me before I head off to work. I mean, who would really wakes up at five in the morning for someone and they don’t gotta wake up for another four hours?”

“You’re the only person I’d wake up early for.”

“See. It’s little things like that.”

“What?” He squinted at you, a smirk playing on his face.

“I mean...no matter what you do, or where we are. I just, it’s those things that made me fall for you. Much to my surprise, I didn’t think I’d ever tell you. Or even hear those words come out of your mouth.”

“Why?”

“For starters, you’re my best friend and probably the closest thing I have to a family. I didn’t want to jeopardize that. Not only that but just...I’m just me.”

“That’s right. You’re just you.” Sam said, pulling you into him.

“That’s why I love you.” You shrugged. “You let people know that they’re good, that they’re beautiful.”

“You’re just as caring and filled with compassion.”

“Yeah, but there’s only one Sam Wilson.”

“That’s true.” Sam laughed. “And there’s only one you. That’s what makes you unique, and that’s what makes you the woman I love.”

“Sam.”

Everything about you, from the way you woke up with him in the early mornings, to late night movies, cooking together was things he loved about you. From the way you passionately spoke about the things and people you cared about. The way you fumble over your words during a joke always made him laugh. The way you would stay up for him after his long missions and work, to make sure he was physically and mentally alright.

It was the little things and the big things in life that you did that made his heart grow even fonder of you by the day. And now, now that he had you here in his hold confessing your love to him...he really couldn't believe it.

He moved one of his hands to hold on your waist, as you sat together on the couch. He loved the way you said his name. Whether it was Sam, or Samuel, or Wilson when you were angry...or even when you called him Falcon in amusement, his mind couldn’t keep up with his heart that kept beating faster everytime he was with you.

“Y/N…” He said, matching your tone.

“You always know the right things to say, huh?”

“Yeah, and the truth.”

“Can’t argue with that.”

He laughed, then moved his fingers on your waist to comfort you.

“Listen, I could list every damn thing and reason why I love you. Trust me, that list is endless. It’s always been you that’s made me feel things I’ve never felt for anyone, you know? The way you look in the morning, or anytime of day really. Your lips...whenever you’re concentrating on something you do that really damn cute scrunch of your face. You know, the one where your nose scrunches and your lips are pulled to the side. The way you listen to me. Whether it's my jokes, or going on and on about shit or just letting me open up to you. How could I not fall in love with my best friend?"

You closed your eyes, listening to the way he spoke. That’s another thing: his voice. Whether it was when he was joking around, or tired, or flirting...that voice made you feel more things for him than you’ve ever felt.

“Every, goddamn thing about you is what I love. Because it’s you.”

Suddenly, you felt his hand on your cheek and you open your eyes to stare up at him.

“You’re really warm.”

“You have that affect on me.”

“I know I do.”

You rolled your eyes at his confident flirting. Before you could even respond, his other hand is cupping your jaw. His lips gently grazed yours, slowly waiting for you to make the next move. But the fluttering in your stomach made you too nervous to even move. He caught on and with a faint smile, he leaned in more. You felt like you were frozen, in a dream. Your mind is still caught up in the ‘holy fuck my best friend, sam fucking wilson is kissing me.’ After a few seconds, he pulled away to rest his forehead on yours.

It stood silent between you too. Sam waiting for you to relax and realize what had just happened. He lets out a breathy laugh when he felt your hands start tugging on his shirt, asking him to come forward again. Your lips are instantly on his, and you finally feel it. The connection that pulls you into him, the love that you’ve felt for him for years.

Those butterflies in your stomach flutters up into your heart. Everything you’ve read, watched or heard suddenly starts to become true. There’s this wholesome feeling knowing you’re finally kissing this man you’ve had a crush on since you were kids. But then, there’s this loving and intense feeling that pulses throughout your body. His mouth opens slightly, allowing you to explore his. The nerves start up again, but you push them away once you feel confident enough.

Your lips detach from his for a second, and you both let out each others names in a low whisper. He felt it too. The way you were both vulnerable around each other more than other time. The way you both finally got those feelings off your chest, speaking them to each other.

Sam kissed you once more, just a peck but enough to make you feel weak all over. It was soft, but you felt him giving his all to you. And as he pulled away, it left you breathless and clinging tightly on his thick biceps.

“The things you do to me.”

“I could say the same thing.”

You leave a kiss on the side of his mouth, to tease him and for your own satisfaction. No words are spoken for the rest of the night. It gave you and Sam the opportunity to relax into each others arms.The two of you let out a relieved laugh, falling back into the couch together. He lets his hand wander from your head, down to your back, soothing you and making sure you know everything that had just happened was real. If you had the option of kissing him for the rest of your life, you would.

But right now, being in his arms and knowing that he loves you back, can suffice.
