Gotti was in teh right place at the time to make a move on Paul. He was on trial, and his loyal guys like Decicco and Gravano didnt like they way he was acting with The Piccolo murder and the maid affair. I dotn think Decicco or Gravano particularly liked Gottin. in fact they made a pact that they would ahve killed Gotti in a year if he didnt cut out the flamboyant bullshit. I guess Decicco's death saved Gotti's life
