In a situation similar to the Dwayne Casey/Minnesota debacle in which it was reported Casey was offered the job, followed by both Casey and Kevin McHale denying the claim, followed by a offer to Dwayne Casey to coach the Timberwolves, Suns assistant Marc Iavaroni has denied he was offered a coaching job with the Portland Trailblazers only a few days after reports said he had.

"We're hearing no change in status," said Iavaroni, who interviewed with Portland last week. "I'm still a candidate."

Now, it seems that Portland may want to make a run at Sonics coach Nate McMillan and may wait until after the draft to name a head coach.
