This would eliminate any incentive for tanking while still giving a way for terrible franchises to climb out of the gutter

So Edmonton by your logic would have crazy good odds of first overall
Many years out of playoffs + didn't win lotto last year..?
Also teams who are on the decline are punished IMO
