IVERSON STILL WITH NO ANSWER; VIN BAKER TALKS ABOUT FALK

          76ers G ALLEN IVERSON has designated Reebok rep HENRY
     "QUE" GASKINS and attorneys LARRY WOODWARD and TOM
     SHUTTLEWORTH to "oversee his affairs in the wake of firing
     agent DAVID FALK," according to Stephen Smith of the
     PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER.  Woodward: "We'll manage his money
     and financial obligations.  Allen hasn't hired anyone yet" 
     (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 3/27).  Sonics F VIN BAKER said that
     he is "definitely strongly considering" changing agents to
     AARON GOODWIN.  Baker, on his relationship with Falk: "I
     haven't been pleased with an awful lot of things.  I just
     reached a point where I got tired of holding it in."  Baker
     referred to a "lack of attention" from Falk and said that he
     "didn't feel comfortable with FAME."  In Philadelphia,
     Stephen Smith notes that as of December, FAME "didn't employ
     any black agents," and it "remains unclear" whether it has
     hired any since then (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 3/28).
