The former Tall Black has not ruled out returning to Dunedin next year to help out the Nuggets.
That could mean assuming the role of player-coach which Dickel vacated when he accepted an offer to coach the Canterbury Rams.
But, like many, Polyblank is concerned whether the team will be around to compete in the National Basketball League.
Basketball Otago's well-documented financial struggles have left some wondering about the Nuggets' future, and the 1.97m forward has heard conflicting stories about whether the funding exists.
Major naming sponsor Oceana Gold plans to meet BBO regarding any potential future sponsorship agreement within the next couple of weeks.
The outcome of that meeting will have a large bearing on whether the Nuggets feature in 2015.
Basketball Otago, for its part, has maintained business will continue as usual, and NBL chairman Sam Rossiter-Stead said he had had received the same assurances.
''Everything we've heard from them has indicated that they will be there next year,'' Rossiter-Stead said.
''I've had a number of conversations with them since the end of the season and they accept that they have some challenges but are very confident they can work through those.
''However, they will be subject to a review of their previous year's finances as all teams are. It is a condition of the participation agreement.''
Those financial details must be provided to the league prior to the franchises ''being finalised at the end of October''.
And teams must also pay the league a $5000 bond that month to confirm their entry in the 2015 season.
BBO's accounts are still with the auditor and a clearer picture of its financial position will become more apparent once its financial statement is made public.
The organisation is expected to return a deficit for the period ending December, 2013.
In June, former deputy chairman Simon Eddy told the Otago Daily Times ''the final result will be upwards of a $50,000 loss''.
Chairman Ricky Carr has since contradicted Eddy, saying the loss would be ''way less than that''.
BBO is making tentative plans for 2015. Polyblank, who was contacted for comment yesterday, said he has been asked about his availability next season.
''I have spoken to a couple of people but there has been nothing official,'' the Wellingtonian said.
''Certain board members have asked if I'm still going to be around and is it a possibility.
"I'm the type of person who would never cross out an option, so I'm open to anything.''
Polyblank's preferred option is to stay in Wellington and open a development academy in the Hutt area.
But if that falls through, he still believes he can contribute at the top level.
''Clearly, being 36 this year, I don't have too long left ... and I want to know I can have something in terms of coaching to move on to.
''Whether that is in Otago or Wellington or Palmy [Palmerston North] or wherever, I've just got bide my time and make a good decision.''
However, he preached urgency when it came to the Nuggets.
''If you want to field a decent team, you've got to start getting players early. Teams are already beginning to sign players.''
