According to Marc Stein, the first round pick is protected.

Noel, the former No. 6 overall pick, is a restricted free agent this summer. He turns 23 in March. This is a probably a shrewd move for Dallas, who pick up a potential core piece in his early 20s (if he can stay healthy) for virtually nothing.
