Samsung probably has the position of strength to push for a phone without play services.
However that's a lot of stuff that suddenly needs to be replaced and I don't see Samsung able to pull of correctly half of Play Services.

The first Galaxy Gear ran a non-certified version of Android and Google got really upset about it. Launching a phone would be suicide. As for the alternative services they already have a lot of stuff for the Chinese market and Tizen phones.
