Miles, 30, averaged 10.7 points and shot a career-best 41.3 percent from 3-point range last season. He has a career average of 9.8 over 12 NBA seasons with the Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Pacers.
Joseph, 25, averaged career bests of 9.3 points and 3.3 assists last season in his second campaign with Toronto. He spent his first four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs and has career averages of 6.8 points and 2.5 assists.
Meanwhile, the Raptors announced Sunday they signed forward OG Anunoby to a rookie contract.
Anunoby is under contract through the 2018-19 season, with two team option years to follow. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Raptors selected Anunoby with the 23rd overall pick in the draft last month.
