I like it because this system rewards winning even when you are out of the playoffs. That being said, there’s nothing stopping a team from losing the first 30 games then turning it on in the last half of the season. But doing so is incredibly obvious and could be prevented by implement some safe guard or penalty for doing so.

Yes, teams would simply tank earlier in the year. 'Gotta be the first to tank, so we can get that coveted pick!'
Whatever system you design, people will exploit it.
