SONICS VIN BAKER DROPS FALK AS AGENT; MCHALE STILL FIRED UP

          Sonics F VIN BAKER has "dissolved his relationship"
     with DAVID FALK, and "it is believed" that Baker will now
     hire agents AARON and ERIC GOODWIN, according to Ronald
     Tillery of the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER.  Baker, who "had
     contemplated changing agents since last summer," said
     earlier this season that he wanted "more hands-on
     attention."  This marks the third time in Baker's career
     that he has changed agents (POST-INTELLIGENCER, 3/17).
          T'Wolves VP KEVIN MCHALE, on Falk: "I haven't come up
     with the right antibiotic for him yet.  The atomic bomb's
     gonna go off, and cockroaches and Falk will climb out of it.
     ... He killed me when he told us, `I'm going to take the
     high road.'  He couldn't find the high road.  I'll lead him
     out and show him where the high road is" (ESPN.com, 3/17).
