Magic point guard Steve Francis on the trade of Cuttino Mobley, with whom Francis has been teammates for all six of his seasons in the NBA:

"I can't put it into words. Playing with a guy, living with a guy, just knowing that every day when I wake up that's something I can count on, that I'm going to be in practice or in a game with Cuttino.

"Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for."

Some husbands don't feel that way about their wife.

I feel for you, Steve Francis. I feel for you. You have been stripped of something you held very close to your heart. You have lost the very thing we as humans strive for when we learn what is important in this life -- love.

I dedicate this song to you, Steve Francis. I dedicate to you a song that has comforted me on many a lonely night. May it comfort you, as well, on this somber afternoon.

"One Last Cry"
By Brian McKnight

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry......

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry.
