Joycelyn Tibwell: Is A New "Basketball Wife" Headed To VH1? Meet Carmen Murray....

Shaunie O'Neal is on her grind this year getting more and more "Basketball Wives" added to her show. In addition to the impending L.A. spinoff, a new "Wife" is rumored to be heading to Miami to joint he original cast-o-characters.

Her name is Carmen Murray and we've got the low-down inside....

Carmen Murray (pictured above on the far right in a white dress) isn't your typical "Basketball Wife." For one, she was actually married to a baller at one point. And two, she has a real job involving a real celebrity with a real career. So maybe that's why Shaunie offered her a role on the next season of the VH1 reality show.

Carmen is the ex-wife of basketball player Lamond Murray. He last played for the New Jersey Nets in 2006, and now plays for a Bahrain basketball league called Al-Muharraq Sports Club. At least she has something in common with Tami, Meeka, Jennifer and Shaunie who are all wives/ex-wives of former NBA players.

And the pretty gal is an established music executive who is part of the team behind artist Melanie Fiona.

Celebuzz reports:

Our sources say the ink isn’t on the contract just yet for Murray to join, but that the former real estate investor and founder of Title 9 Productions should be very shortly. With those creds, she must be putting up quite the negotiation.

Is her real career going to threaten Evelyn, Jennifer, and the others and cause big time drama? Here we go...
