Yes, there is no time requirement between closing a Roth and opening a traditional IRA.

There are restrictions for "Roll-overs" but it does not sound like that is your objective. 

 

Additionally, you need "earned income" to contribute to a traditional IRA, and the distribution from the Roth would not count as earned income towards an IRA contribution.
