James Borrego, Kenny Atkinson and Micah Nori have advanced to the in-person interview phase as the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their search for a new head coach.

Borrego completed a visit with hte Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Atkinson and Nori are also scheduled to interview this week.

The Cavaliers are also conducting interviews with candidates such as Johnnie Bryant and Dave Joerger over Zoom. 

James Borrego will meet with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Borrego also remains a "significant name" in the Lakers' coaching search. 

Brian Windhorst reported that Borrego was gaining momentum with the Cavs. 

The Lakers plan to have a coach in place before the upcoming draft. 

James Borrego's candidacy with the Cleveland Cavaliers is "getting momentum," according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Monday morning on Get Up.

The Los Angeles Lakers reached a holding pattern over the weekend as they waited for an answer from Dan Hurley.

"Other candidates that they're interested in, are moving on elsewhere," said Windhorst. "So James Borrego, who they interviewed about 10 days ago, he's getting momentum in Cleveland. He's expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs."

Borrego is currently the top assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans and was previously a head coach with the Charlotte Hornets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have received permission from the Denver Nuggets to interview David Adelman for their head coaching vacancy.

Adelman has also met with the Los Angeles Lakers during this coaching cycle.

Adelman has been an assistant coach with the Nuggets since 2017.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have received permission to interview Micah Nori for their head coaching vacancy.

Nori is the lead assistant coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves and played a more active role in the Western Conference Semifinals and Finals following the injury to Chris Finch.

Nori also interviewed with the Los Angeles Lakers for their vacancy.

While Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego are considered the favorites to become Cleveland's next head coach, they will also interview Johnnie Bryant and Chris Quinn.

The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to engage the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks on trade talks this offseason as they look to upgrade their lead guard position. 

The Hawks are expected to trade either Trae Young or Dejounte Murray this offseason, while the Cavaliers could also entertain offers on Darius Garland if they sign Donovan Mitchell to an extension. 

The Pelicans engaged both the Cavaliers and Hawks ahead of the February deadline. 

Zion Williamson had interest in joining Trae Young with the Hawks ahead of the lottery in 2019 and there could be mutual interest in playing together now with the Pelicans. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been granted permission to interview two more head-coaching candidates in the franchise's ongoing search, including New York Knicks associate head coach Johnnie Bryant and Miami Heat top assistant Chris Quinn, sources told ESPN on Friday.

The Cavaliers are searching for a new head coach to replace J.B. Bickerstaff.

Bryant previously worked with Donovan Mitchell as an assistant coach with the Utah Jazz.

The Cleveland Cavaliers do not appear motivated to listen to trade inquiries at this point for any member of their core four of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

There has been an expectation that the Cavaliers could trade either Mitchell or Garland this offseason. If Mitchell declines Cleveland's extension offer, he becomes an instant trade candidate. If Mitchell signs the extension, there are reports that Garland's representation at Klutch Sports could work to facilitate a trade.

Allen is also a trade candidate as the big man tandem with Mobley hasn't produced the type of results they were expecting due to spacing issues.

Allen has two seasons and $40 million remaining on his contract and figures to have multiple trade suitors interested in him if he becomes available. 

James Borrego had a second interview with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Borrego is also a candidate for the Cleveland Cavaliers' head coaching vacancy.

Borrego has a strong reputation for player development including serving as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs for a decade. Borrego also has head coaching experience with the Charlotte Hornets.

Borrego is currently an assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are beginning their interview process for head coach with Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego, who are the top two candidates on their list.

Atkinson and Borrego are both top assistant coaches with previous head coaching experience.

Atkinson was previously a head coach with the Brooklyn Nets and is currently an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors. 

Borrego is also a serious candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers' head coaching vacancy. Borrego was previously head coach of the Charlotte Hornets and now is an assistant with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Cavaliers plan on interviewing additional candidates beyond Atkinson and Borrego.
