Not only does this not get rid of tanking, it also gets rid of the low rookie wage scale and gives larger contracts to unproven rookies. So signing the wrong guy for the wrong price could cripple a franchise
ETA: The reason the scale would increase is because it's really close together right now so they'd have to widen the gap between the good and bad team salaries for money to even be a factor in a player's decision.
ETA #2: Well after looking at the current wage scale it's further apart than I thought so that wouldn't have to be changed too much. But it still doesn't really prevent tanking which is the main issue.

I don't think a team would be cap strapped from this. 4 a year for 4 years is about the norm for #1 right now. Then it scales down.
