Rex Kalamian interviewed with the Houston Rockets in Cleveland on Thursday for their head coaching vacancy.

Daryl Morey and Les Alexander conducted the interview of Kalamian, who is an assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors.

Kalamian joined the Raptors this season after six with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kalamian is a candidate to become an assistant coach with the Rockets as well, with the Washington Wizards and Scott Brooks another possibility. 

ESPN's Marc Stein and Calvin Watkins reports that the Rockets' interest in Kalamian is sparked in part by his relationship with James Harden and free agent target Kevin Durant.
