Vh1′s Basketball Wives Making A Pitch For Vanessa Bryant

It seems obvious that Vanessa Bryant would be the basketball wife most sought by Vh1′s “Basketball Wives” producers. So, why is Vh1 reportedly prepared to make a major pitch for Vanessa now?

Well, TMZ is reporting that now that Vanessa has split from Kobe, she may be more receptive to the idea. Plus, the show has a larger budget now that it’s one of the network’s highest rated shows. Vh1 is preparing an “extremely lucrative pitch” for Vanessa to come on the show as a recurring character.

Let’s be honest though, Vanessa won’t exactly be strapped for cash after the divorce and will likely turn down any offers from the network.
