    I have an app on my phone that can translate any language it hears into another language.

    Why do we not just have a screen in front of the microphone that translates to us and also him as it happens?

    What year is it?

    How much is this organization worth?

    Am i wrong about this? Is it that complicated?

    Almost every job can be replaced by an app or a robot today. I don't see it as bad thing when it doesn't happen.

    Notes from press conference:

    Yang said he expected to be picked in the 20s.

    Blazers had a secret slack channel devoted to Yang for a few years.

    I want Yao Ming as a big man coach but it’s probably below him seeing as he was president of CBA and involved in developing Chinas basketball program.

    I have been investing heavily in ChatHCP - but the technology is not there yet. Every time we think we get close - we asked it a question and it answers coherently...

    I don't want to see him put on much more weight on those knees and feet.
    But over time, more muscle will only help.

    Maybe you could share a few of your own styles.

    Wait, if it answers questions coherently, that's a DRASTIC improvement from the original HCP.

    Which means it can't replace the real @THE HCP

    Exactly my point.
