Rick Adelman is meeting with David Kahn, CEO Rob Moor and owner Glen Taylor on Tuesday for an interview.
Minnesota has been attempting to bring Adelman in for a formal interview for several weeks.
Adelman joins Don Nelson and Sam Mitchell as the other top candidates.
Adelman has said he wanted to take time off from coaching following his departure from the Rockets.
It is believed that the job is Adelman's if he decides to take it.
