And in return you'll end up punishing the teams who really need the help. A team in the #1 and #2 spot should have at least one team winding up in the top three. I know the Celtics tanked this year, but this could happen to any team that desperately needs the player.
They aren't being 'punished', they've been rewarded less than you would like. For them to be punished playoff teams would have to have a higher chance than they do, or the higher lottery teams would, or something. There are all kinds of reasons for a team to finish at the bottom of the standings, and a number of them(such as injuries and tanking) have nothing whatsoever to do with how much help a team 'needs'.
