Chandler Parsons has predicted LeBron James days with the Miami Heat are numbered.
The man many credit with sucessfully recruiting Dwight Howard from the Los Angeles Lakers to his Houston Rockets recently said on ESPN's 'SportsNation' that: "you'll see [James] in a different jersey next year."

Parsons cites the Heat's struggles against the San Antonio Spurs during the first four games of this year's NBA Finals as the reason James will bolt Miami.
"I think if they would have won the championship it would have been a different story and they would have come back to do it again but he's got so much responsibility, he's obviously one of the best players if not the best, I think them losing will make him make a move and opt out."

The 29-year-old James has an out-clause in his contract that could allow him to become a free-agent as early as next month. Big 3 teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh also have the option of being able to opt out and walk away.
Parsons went on to add he can't see James going to L.A. to team with Kobe Bryant, but he finds it conceivable James may seek to return to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, who also own the top pick in this year's draft and already boast All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as part of their roster.
The Heat and James currently trail the San Antonio Spurs 3-1 heading into Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
