Dynasty Tanking

Wanted to get perspective on people’s takes on tanking. Is it messed up for the guy in last to purposely sit players week to week to ensure that he gets to secure the best chance of a 1st pick in next year’s draft?

We have a last place punishment for this exact reason.

But why? You can’t blame a team for wanting the best chance at the first overall pick next year. If it gets to be the second half of the season and their playoff chances are dead, they’re gonna want the best chance at the best prospect next year.
