Likely That Pelicans Will Defer Lakers Swap Until 2025 (now official)

For the clueless peeps like me, what does this mean?

Are they saying that this year’s draft class is weak and they’re hoping that the Lakers will stink next year which could potentially improve the pick 2 years from now?
Actually... Next year draft is much deeper. Even if say... That's it's 22nd pick. You'll be inclined to get a better prospect
