Joel Anthony has two seasons left on his contract with the Miami Heat, and the veteran center is hoping to retire with the organization that brought him into the NBA in 2007.

"Of course I want to retire with Miami," Anthony said. "It's the team that gave me the opportunity, the team that I've played my six years on in the NBA and there's no reason for me to leave."

Anthony has been part of back-to-back titles with the Heat.

"It's not an issue of whether you're going to play or get minutes, the most important thing is that we went out to win a championship," Anthony said. "That's my goal. At the start of the season I'm not thinking if I'm going to get minutes or not, instead it's about getting that title. As that goal was reached, there's no reason to go anywhere else."

Anthony averaged 1.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and less than a block in 62 games last season.

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to wait on signing first round picks Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel to rookie contracts.

The 76ers have additional cap space by delaying those signings.

Noel has a cap hold of $2,643,600, while Carter-Williams' cap hold is $1,834,100.

E.J. Singler will join the Portland Trail Blazers as a non-guaranteed roster camp invitee.

Singler played at Oregon and attended South Medford High School in the area.

Singler is prepared to play in the D-League instead of going overseas.

“There’s an option overseas, but the D-League is a great option, too,” Singler said in June. “A great example is Danny Green ... that’s a guy that has worked hard and made his way into the NBA after paying his dues in the D-League. It can be a good opportunity for me.” 

Quentin Richardson has been waived by the Toronto Raptors.

Richardson was acquired by the Raptors via sign-and-trade from the Knicks in the July deal involving Andrea Bargnani.

Fab Melo has been waived by the Memphis Grizzlies.

Melo was recently acquired from the Boston Celtics via trade.

Melo was a first round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Undrafted forward Kenny Kadji has agreed to sign a non-guaranteed contract and play in training camp with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source told RealGM.

Kadji, 25, turned down several substantial offers from European clubs to focus on starting his career in the NBA. He will travel to Cleveland next week to begin preparing for camp.

Kadji was on the Cavaliers’ summer league team in July, averaging 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds.

After putting up nearly 13 points and seven rebounds per game as a senior at the University of Miami, Kadji wasn’t selected in the June NBA draft. At 6-foot-10, he also has a smooth touch from outside, shooting 35.1 percent from three-point range last season.

Former Wisconsin standout Kammron Taylor has accepted the Boston Celtics’ invitation to training camp, his agent Keith Kreiter told RealGM.

Taylor has starred overseas since going unselected in the 2007 NBA draft, playing in Spain, France, Germany and Ukraine. He averaged 10 points and 2.3 assists for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ summer league team in July.

Taylor, 29, had a four-year run at Wisconsin and played summer league in 2007 before starting his professional career. The 6-foot-2 point guard had been finalizing his camp deal with the Celtics in recent days.

The Phoenix Suns signed Alex Len, who the team selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

Len is a 7-foot-1, 255-pound athletic center, who finished a two-year career in College Park, Maryland, with an Honorable Mention All-ACC season in which he was also named to the All-ACC Defensive team.

Free agent forward Eric Dawson has accepted an invite to the Atlanta Hawks’ training camp, a league source told RealGM.

Dawson played for the Hawks’ summer league team in July, averaging 3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds. His camp deal with the Hawks will be non-guaranteed.

Dawson has spent five seasons in the NBA D-League since going undrafted in 2007. In the 2011-12 season, Dawson was called up to the San Antonio Spurs and averaged almost 10 minutes and four points over four games.

Dawson, 29, had a four-year college career at Midwestern State.

With no NBA out clause, Ivan Johnson has signed a one-year contract with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association, a league source told RealGM.

Johnson, the 6-foot-8 free agent forward, received interest throughout NBA free agency, and his four finalists were the Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls, a source said. He decided to accept a more lucrative deal in China – where he spent the 2011 season – instead of continuing to wait for an organization to enhance its offer.

Johnson also is hoping to take advantage of China’s shorter season and return to the States late in the NBA season, when teams will deal with possible injuries and look to add pieces.

There remains strong interest in Johnson, and the 29-year-old took a deal for one season in order to return next year. RealGM first reported on Aug. 16 that Johnson had started to seriously consider leaving the NBA for offers in China and Italy.

Johnson averaged 6.5 points and 3.9 rebounds over two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, carving a role as an active, tough big man after bouncing around in his basketball career.
