I can't imagine Washington would entertain any trade that involved retention given that they'll need cap space for next year and trading Mantha would be because of said cap space issues. I personally think Washington should hold onto him and let him play top 6 minutes under a different coach, but if they were to trade him, I don't think this return is very appealing to DC.
Washington has been reportedly only been entertaining trade offers for good value, no meager returns, which makes me think Mantha is unlikely to move (since most would agree his value is quite tarnished right now), and in this trade itself Blackwood brings no value to DC and would be viewed as a dump for them (wouldn't get time over Kumper and Lindgren). The Foote + Cond. 3rd part isn't horrible, (about what Washington had to add in to upgrade from Vrana to Mantha) but I think Washington would keep him for next year if the offer didn't start with a 2nd based on the previous trades/extension choices.
