Suns assistant coach Marc Iavaroni interviewed for the Portland Trail Blazers head coach job Thursday night in Chicago, according to Iavaroni's agent.
Portland also interviewed Seattle assistant Dwane Casey on Wednesday in Chicago at the NBA's pre-draft camp.
"I think they (the Blazers) are getting closer," Warren LeGarie, who represents Iavaroni and Casey, told the (Portland, Ore.) Oregonian. "I don't know if they are near the finish line, but they are certainly moving forward."
Iavaroni has ties to Portland General Manager John Nash. Both were with the Philadelphia 76ers in the mid-1980s - Iavaroni as a player, Nash in the front office.
"It's an ongoing process and I've said we will get it done before the draft, sometime this month," Trail Blazers President Steve Patterson said.
Iavaroni has been with Phoenix for three seasons. Before that, he was an assistant for Cleveland under Mike Fratello, and with Miami under Pat Riley.
Portland fired Maurice Cheeks on March 1 after starting the season 22-32.
