<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bucks general manager Larry Harris is used to working with numbers. Before joining the Bucks on a full-time basis in 1990, Harris earned a math degree from New Mexico University. He then worked as an actuary for the Wyatt Corporation Dallas. Harris' background in math paid off for him this summer. Despite re-signing star free-agent shooting guard Michael Redd to the richest contract ever for a Wisconsin pro sports athlete - $91 million for six years - and signing free-agent forward Bobby Simmons to a $47 million deal, Harris nevertheless kept the Bucks from going over the league's luxury tax threshold of $61.7 million. For every dollar an NBA team is above the luxury threshold, it must pay an equal amount to the NBA.</div> Source
