"Followill said he expected all four players might be available for Saturday's game barring an issue with physicals."
What happens in the first game or 3 will tell us nothing. They can keep everyone they have right now for almost a month.
The crossroads will be as we near Mar 1. Near that point, Nemby and Cisse will have run out of NBA eligibility as a 2-way. So that's when they have to decide if they waive players, so they can convert N/C to regular NBA deals. Nothing says they MUST do so, but if they don't, those players get no more NBA pay this season and basically are just GL guys for the remainder of the season.
Mar 1 is also the deadline by which a player must be waived, if he wants to sign with another team and be playoff eligible.
Before then, there's no urgency.
I expect they will let it play out for the next 5-6 games or so, during which they can see if they have any reason to waive someone, and then decide who they want it to be (if anyone). In the meantime, we get to watch and see what we think they should do.
