I've always been a Boogie guy, so I'll stick with him, although, I do like Blake a lot too.

Cousins.  I'm so sick of our tallest player being 6'9"  (BTW, I don't believe Horford is 6"11".)

Cousins also makes Horford happier, who allegedly wants to play more 4.  Blake isn't as equipped to play the 5.

That's true and this is another reason why Cousins is a better choice. I believe COusins is youger too, he is 26 and Griffin is 27.

Blake's 27, Cuz turns 26 in a month, so not a huge age difference, but Cuz is younger.

It's not a big difference, I was just pointing out that Cousins is the best player and the most versatile of the two, while also being younger. So other than a potential locker room problem, all the reasons points out to Cousins being the better option for us, in the present and for the future.

Blake- because Cousins has been a malcontent everywhere he has played and for every coach he has played for--no reason to believe he will suddenly become a team player.

Was he a problem at Kentucky ?  I'm from Brazil and we get almost nothing of college basketball here, which is very sad by the way.

Cousins is younger and the better talent of the two. 

Neither is a "safe" bet.

I think Boogie would be a more difficult to handle chess piece on the board for opponents to try and gameplan against.

Let the preface this by saying I'd take both.

Put a gun to my head and I'll say Griffin over Cousins. They are bother top 10 players in the league. With the way the C's play, I think he would be a better fit and provide me flexibility.

Cousins is A LOT better than Griffin. The only thing that Griffin is better is punching staff members in the face I guess.

I think Cousins is a top 10 player, Griffin isn't. And I think Cousins is the one who provides more flexibility, since he can play the 4 and the 5, because of his ability to shoot long jumpers with consistency and 3 pointers too. Griffin can't play the 5 spot in my opinion. He doesn't defend well, doesn't rebound well and doesn't alter/block shots at the rim

Cousins. Griffin is very good, but Cousins is better. There's a pretty big gap between being a 27/12/3 plus defender with 2 years of control and a 21/8/5 average defender with one year. They both seem to have locker room issues. Unless we really believe Griffin is being held back in LAC land by Jordan and/or coaching staff. Once upon a time he averaged those kinds of rebounds, and once upon a time he put up 24 ppg on 17 shots. If he could return to form, it would be a lot closer.

Regardless the contract is a big deal. You better be ready to spend $150M+ on him this summer if you trade a lot for Griffin.
