Fantasy Impact:
Noel wasn't moved at the trade deadline which suggests the Mavericks organization wishes to try and find a place for him within the team. His standing with the Mavs was up in the air prior to his surgery, but coach Carlisle's words bodes well for Noel's future with the team. Fantasy owners with an open I.R. spot could pick up Noel in hopes that he carves out a substantial role whenever it is he returns to the lineup for Dallas.
