I would like to make it clear - The total affect of finishing higher should not be changed.
The same money should be involved.
The only change is that some of it will be "seen" as a "price money" of some kind.

Even in real sports, the teams at the top often lose money, or make less money because they choose to invest more money into players.

Salary dumps and tanking are common occurances in professional sport. If your team is not good enough to win a championship then it makes perfect sense to focus on making money.

At least that 4th spot has an outside shot of going all the way.

In this case they try to win both sides.

I didn't see any team that in one season played with bad roster (and low salary), and then made a run for the title.
Again, at the same season.

In addition in real BB, a team that is playing around like that, are suffering a lot from their audience.

Another thing that is needed to be changed, for making it more real, is the salary floor.
Yes, the TV is expecting to pay upon a minimum floor, but what about a league definition?
Why not defining the floor upon the average salaries of that league (for example, above 80% of the average)?

San Antonio did it but there were some special and very good reasons and they were rewarded for their season of tanking with Tim Duncan who they added to David Robinson "The Admiral" and didn't just attempt a championship but actually won three as a direct result of that season of tanking.

The salary floor idea is a good idea although i think it would be better if it took the average salaries of all teams in that division rather than just league because a league could have a few teams with extremely high salaries skewing the entire thing.

Neglecting all the other things I wrote, and you did not referred to;
Give a single NBA team that tanked all year, and then made a run to the title.
